Ingredients

SERVINGS: 2 Serving(s)
  • 12 ounces Brussels sprouts (to serve 2)
  • 1 tablespoon rendered lamb fat (or bacon fat) or enough to coat the Brussels sprouts
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 2 or 3 juniper berries, minced
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • To taste Salt and pepper

Instructions

I use lamb fat reserved from previously made lamb bone broth to cook the Brussels sprouts in but you can use bacon fat as an alternative. Preheat a cast-iron skillet in a 450° oven; remove skillet with pot holders, add a tablespoon of lamb fat and your washed and halved Brussels sprouts and minced garlic; toss to coat. Mince the shallot and juniper berries and sprinkle on top. Return to the oven and continue to roast for about 10 minutes, or until browned.
