- add dry almonds and toast for 3 minutes or until opaque and slightly golden
- place toasted almonds to the side and add bacon, cooking till crisp
- remove bacon and add Brussels sprouts to pan (don't drain oil as it will be easily and quickly absorbed by the very dry sprouts.)
- (optional: this is a good time to add the red pepper.)
