Best 4 Brussels Sprouts With Pancetta Balsamic Vinegar And Parmesan Recipes

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA, BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Set the temp on a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Clean all the Brussels sprouts and make one cut from the top down toward the stem end, being careful not to cut all the way through. Make another cut crossing the first like an X also down toward the stem end but not all the way through. Set aside in a bowl.
• Add the olive oil and pancetta to a large saute pan over medium heat. Crisp the pancetta just until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes, then remove it from the pan and drain off half of the fat in the pan.
• Place the pan back on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes, then place the pancetta back in the pan as well.
• Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar and reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken stock and reduce until you have about 1/3 cup liquid glaze in the pan, about 15 minutes.
• Deep fry the Brussels sprouts until they are golden brown and green in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined sheet tray, then toss in the pan with the glaze and stir well to coat.
• Spoon into a serving dish and use a rasp grater to grate lemon zest and Parmesan over the top.

BALSAMIC-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

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. Remove from the oven, drizzle immediately with the balsamic vinegar, and toss again. Taste for seasonings, and serve hot.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Spread onto a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven, shaking every 5 minutes, until crispy and fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Toss with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with Parmesan. Continue roasting until melted, about 1 minute more. Sprinkle with red pepper.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA

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.
