Sauteed Brussel Sprout Salad

It's been awhile since I had a new recipe, but sometimes cooking on the fly yields the best results 😋

Ingredients:

-Your choice of cooking fat (I used pork lard, but you could use bacon fat, olive oil, butter, etc.)

-Thinly sliced yellow onion

-Quartered brussel sprouts

-Quartered cherry tomatoes

-Pine nuts

-Balsamic vinegar

-Salt

-Optional: shredded cheese of your choice (I used Beecher's cheddar and my sister crumbled goat cheese in top)

Directions:

-Heat fat in a large skillet. 

-Add sliced yellow onion and cook for ~20 minutes until cooked through and caramelized. Reduce heat as they begin to cook through. 

-While the onions cook, cut the brussel sprouts by chopping off the stem, peeling off any blemished leaves, and cutting into quarters. 

-When onions are cooked through, add brussel sprouts to pan. Cook on medium-high until sprouts are sauteed and cooked through ~15 min. 

-Add cherry tomatoes and pine nuts, stir frequently.

-Add balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt.  Stir on high until the vinegar cooks out a little. 

-Serve hot and top with shredded cheese if desired.
