For those of us Brussels Sprouts lovers, these are excellent and easy. I got this recipe from my sister in law...I think it's from Fine Living. Great side dish.

Provided by Mary Close

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ounces pancetta, cut into 1/4 inch dice
1 -2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
10 ounces Brussels sprouts (about 18 medium, trimmed and halved)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
salt

Steps:

  • In a heavy 10 inch saute pan, set over medium low heat, slowly cook pancetta in 1 tablespoons olive oil until golden and crisp all over. About 15 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer pancetta to a plate lined with a paper towel, leaving fat in pan. You should have about 2 Tbsps. of fat remaining, if not add remaining 1 tablespoons oil to pan. Have ready 1/2 cup water.
  • Put the pan over medium high heat and arrange the sprouts cut side down in a single layer. Cook undisturbed until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes. When the sprouts are browned, add water to the pan, cover immediately and simmer until the sprouts are tender. If water evaporates before sroupts are tender, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time. With a slotted spoon, transfer sprouts to a bowl. Return pan to medium high heat, and if any water remains, let it boil off.
  • Add balsamic vinegar and a few grinds of pepper. Boil vinegar until it's reduced to about 2 Tbsps., and looks syrupy. About 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and add butter, and stir until it's melted. Return sprouts and pancetta to the pan and swirl and shake the pan until the sprouts are evenly coated.

4 ounces pancetta, 1/4-inch-diced
1/4 cup good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon syrupy balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the Brussels sprouts on a sheet pan, including some of the loose leaves, which get crispy when they're roasted. Add the pancetta, olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, toss with your hands, and spread out in a single layer. Roast the Brussels sprouts for 20 to 30 minutes, until they're tender and nicely browned and the pancetta is cooked. Toss once during roasting.

CHARRED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA AND FIG GLAZE



Charred Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta and Fig Glaze image

Provided by Laura B. Russell

Categories     Side     Sauté     Brussels Sprout     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
3 to 4 ounces pancetta, diced
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (or quartered if large) through the stem end (about 6 cups)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons fig jam
1 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large (12 inches or wider) frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a small bowl. Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the Brussels sprouts, keeping them in a single layer as much as possible. Having a few extra sprouts is fine, but if they are mounded in a pile, they will not brown or cook evenly. If necessary, use a larger pan, cook them in two batches, or pull out the extra for another use. Stir in the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and well browned-even charred in spots. If the sprouts are browning too quickly, lower the heat to medium.
  • Add the fig jam and the water and stir until the jam melts and coats the Brussels sprouts. Add the reserved pancetta and the pepper and stir to combine. Taste and add additional salt or pepper if needed. Serve warm.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA



Brussels Sprouts With Pancetta image

This recipe came to The Times in 2003 from Suzanne Goin, the Los Angeles restaurateur whose braised vegetables are a hallmark of her cuisine. It is a marvelously flavorful dish, rich with garlic and salty pancetta. It is one to keep.

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     quick, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
2 teaspoons thyme leaves
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 pounds baby brussels sprouts, washed and trimmed (cut larger ones in two)
Salt and pepper
6 ounces pancetta in small dice (1 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup veal stock or rich chicken broth, more if needed
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix bread crumbs and thyme with 1/4 cup olive oil, and spread on a cookie sheet. Toast, tossing frequently, until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Heat butter and remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foamy. Add brussels sprouts, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sauté, tossing frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add diced pancetta, and sauté, tossing frequently, until sprouts are well browned and softened slightly, and pancetta is crisp, about 10 minutes more. Reduce heat, add shallots and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, 2 minutes.
  • Increase heat to high, add balsamic vinegar and stock, and cook, tossing frequently, until sprouts are glazed and tender, about 10 minutes; add more stock if needed. Taste, adjusting seasoning if necessary, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Transfer to a warm serving bowl and scatter bread crumbs on top.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, bright green sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any sprouts that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end of each Brussels sprout and remove any loose or discolored leaves.
  • Blanch the Brussels sprouts: Blanching helps to tenderize the Brussels sprouts and remove their bitterness. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the Brussels sprouts and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the balsamic glaze: Combine balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened and reduced by half. Set aside.
  • Cook the pancetta: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy. Remove the pancetta from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté the Brussels sprouts: Add the blanched Brussels sprouts, garlic, and shallots to the skillet. Cook until the Brussels sprouts are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the pancetta and balsamic glaze and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze is heated through.
  • Serve immediately: Brussels sprouts with pancetta and balsamic glaze are best served immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Brussels sprouts with pancetta and balsamic glaze is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly sweet, while the pancetta adds a salty and smoky flavor. The balsamic glaze is the perfect finishing touch, adding a touch of sweetness and acidity. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
