For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use 2 tablespoons of olive oil in place of the bacon grease. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried. Use 1 tablespoon of fresh basil and 1 tablespoon of fresh oregano, finely chopped. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference. Start with 1/4 cup and add more to taste. This dish pairs well with grilled chicken, pork chops, or as a side for a hearty pasta dish.
