What you'll need

Preparation

1 Bring stock and spices to a simmer in a medium skillet over medium-high heat; cook 2 minutes. Add squash, Brussels sprouts and cranberries and cook until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Pour mixture into a bowl and set aside.
2 In the same skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat about 2 minutes or just until cooked, but not crisp. Add shallots and continue cooking 2 minutes until tender and bacon is crispy. Whisk in mustard and vinegar; cook and stir 1 minute or until slightly thickened.
3 To serve, drizzle warm bacon vinaigrette over Brussels sprout mixture and top with crumbled goat cheese and pecans.
