Ingredients

  • 15-20 brussel sprouts
  • 20 slices of bacon
  • salt and pepper
  • rosemary
  • olive oil
  • skewers or tooth picks

Garlic Confit Dip

  • 3 bulbs garlic, peeled
  • olive oil
  • rosemary
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Preheat smoker to 300 degrees F or oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Cut the ends off each brussel sprout and cut in half length wise. Wrap each in 1 piece of bacon cut in half, secure with toothpick and repeat. Line on a tray and season with olive oil, salt, pepper and chopped rosemary.
  • Cook for 2 hours on smoker or 1 hour in the oven, checking until the bacon is nice and crispy. Flip halfway to ensure even doneness on the bacon.
  • Garlic Confit Dip: submerge the peeled garlic cloves in olive oil in an oven safe dish. Add a sprig of rosemary or fresh herbs, some peppercorns and a pinch of salt. Cover with foil, bake for 2 hours until golden and tender. Let cool. Use a fork to press on the cloves and break them up into a smooth consistency. Combine with the remaining ingredients, season and taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
