Ingredients

  • 6 ounces pancetta, big dice
  • 4 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 2 pints Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts
  • 1/4 cup currants
  • 1/4 cup raisins

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium pan over medium heat cook the pancetta and capers. Remove from pan, reserving a little of the pancetta fat in the pan. Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan and cook over medium heat to begin to brown. Dress with balsamic and olive oil, a little salt (capers and pancetta are salty) and pepper. Place into the oven and roast, tossing a couple of times, until nicely caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Put the pine nuts in a small, dry, saute pan and toast over a low flame, tossing a couple of times, just until lightly browned, 3 or 4 minutes.

Once the sprouts are ready, remove them from the oven and put into a big serving bowl. Add the pancetta, the capers, pine nuts, currants and raisins. Toss and check for seasoning. Serve.

    It's been awhile that I've eaten Brussels sprouts cuz it was always my mother-in-law who cooks them until I found this recipe of Guy's. I used bacon and not pancetta and didn't add nuts cuz i'm allergic to them. Anyhow, the Brussels Sprouts really tasted soooooo good and even better than my MIL's. You rock, Guy! I can't wait to cook this again and let my sisters be converted in eating and loving BRUSSELS sprouts! After all, I live in Belgium!
