Ingredients

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

Directions

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. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the broth and simmer until the broth reduces just enough to coat the Brussels sprouts, about 3 minutes. Serve.

Sooo good they were requested again
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these last year for Thanksgiving. They are so good that it was requested for our Christmas dinner also. When talking... with my cousin about Thanksgiving she asked if I was going to be making them this year! Personally I love when there are leftovers because I love them cold as a little snack! Yummo!Read more

I dislike Brussels Sprouts but I did like these
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I used Adobe to season and since I am on a very tight budget I used Spam in lieu of pancetta LOL. Its really good and unless... you confess, no one will know! I chopped the spam up small and fried it, you can then put it in the oven at 350 for 15 mins to crisp up if you dont like the texture. Read more

FANTASTIC
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this last year for Thanksgiving and got so many compliments on it. In fact, my niece made a point of telling me she... didn''t even like brussels Sprouts but she went back for a 2nd helping. I don't think I got to take any leftovers home. Read more

Brussel Sprouts and pancetta
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Loved the recipe, however I found the pancetta got soggy. I removed pancetta after it was crisp and proceeded with broth. ... Sprinkled pancetta over finished dish. Perfect.!!!!!!!Read more
