These mini cabbage's can be bitter, but when steamed with lemon juice before pan frying ,they are irresistible. The pancetta, shallots and garlic are just what this dish needs to compliment any meal.
Brussel Sprouts
12 Brussel sprouts, trimmed
juice of 1/2 a lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4" slice pancetta, chopped
2 large shallots, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup vegetable broth
salt and pepper to taste
Peel outer leaves and cut a little off the end. Steam sprouts for about 4 minutes. In a frying pan heat olive oil and saute pancetta 2 to 3 minutes, add shallots, garlic, Brussel sprouts, broth, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes to combine all flavors.
The addition of pancetta put the brussel sprouts over the top. Great recipe, Chef Chuck!
