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.

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

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

I made this a couple years ago for Thanksgiving. It was my first time cooking brussel sprouts since I never really liked... them. All I can say is holy moly - the best brussel sprouts I've ever had, and easy enough for any dinner, not just holidays! A true keeper :)Read more
