Asparagus Sautéed with Bacon

Ingredients

• 2 slice(s) uncooked reduced fat bacon, cut into small pieces
• 1 pound(s) uncooked asparagus, trimmed, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 medium uncooked shallot(s), sliced
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt, or sea salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground (or more to taste)
• 1 1/2 tsp white wine vinegar

Instructions

1. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain; remove all but 1 teaspoon bacon fat from skillet.
2. Add asparagus and shallot to skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until shallots are golden and asparagus are crisp-tender, about 7 minutes.
3. Return bacon to skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss over medium-high heat to warm through. Remove from heat; stir in vinegar.

Notes

Serving size: about 2/3 cup.

Peas would also be delicious prepared this way or even a combination of asparagus and peas.
