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.

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

So good that I make this 2x or more every month. My daughter loves this recipe (imagine that, a green veggie). Tastes good... with leftover ham when pancetta is not in the house.Read more
