Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 ounces paper-thin slices pancetta, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup low-salt chicken broth

Steps:

  • Partially cook the Brussels sprouts in a large pot of boiling salted water, about 4 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute until beginning to crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts to the same skillet and saute until heated through and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.

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.

It is as good as I remember and best of all, it still gets rave reviews!

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest Brussels sprouts you can find. Look for sprouts that are firm and brightly colored, with no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts properly. Cut off the stem end and any loose outer leaves. If the sprouts are large, you may also want to cut them in half or quarters.
  • Char the Brussels sprouts in a hot pan. This will give them a nice smoky flavor and help to caramelize the natural sugars.
  • Cook the Brussels sprouts until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite. Overcooked Brussels sprouts are mushy and unpleasant.
  • Add the pancetta and fig glaze towards the end of cooking. This will prevent the pancetta from getting too crispy and the glaze from burning.
  • Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Charred Brussels sprouts with pancetta and fig glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The Brussels sprouts are roasted until tender and slightly charred, then tossed with crispy pancetta and a sweet and tangy fig glaze. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
