Ingredients

  • 3 slices bacon, chopped

  • 12 ounces radishes, quartered

  • 6 medium shallots, quartered

  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus more for garnish

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 1 ½ tablespoons cider vinegar

  • 1 ½ teaspoons unsalted butter

Directions

  1. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the drippings in the pan. Add radishes and shallots to the pan and cook, undisturbed, until slightly charred on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir and continue to cook until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, salt and pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar, butter and the reserved bacon. Garnish with more thyme, if desired, and serve immediately.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
