Recipe #2 - Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta
Hi,
Despite Christmas being over, Brussels Sprouts can still make an appearance in your kitchen. In fact, in the UK, most Brussels Sprouts are consumed outside the Christmas period. In my household Brussels Sprouts are quite rare and I wanted my little brothers to have a good first experience eating these festive sprouts. The recipe I came up with is simple and adds meaty flavours to balance the bitterness of the sprouts. It went down well so I would recommend this to anyone that dislikes Brussels Sprouts. It certainly makes for a better alternative than the traditional plain boiled recipe.
Recipe
500g Brussels Sprouts
80g Pancetta
1 Red Onion
Salt and Pepper
1) Prep the Brussels Sprouts by removing chopping the root while still maintaining it intact. Then place the spouts in salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes. It depends how firm you like your Brussels Sprouts.
2) Drain the Brussels Sprouts and place them in cold water before draining them again. Whilst they rest, fry chopped pancetta with onion until they start to brown.
3) Add the Brussels Sprouts to the pan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Season to taste and serve on a bowl. Enjoy!
