facebook share image   twitter share image   pinterest share image   E-Mail share image

Brussels sprouts are a cruciferous vegetable with a slightly bitter flavor that can be offset by cooking them with sweet or savory ingredients. Pancetta, an Italian cured pork, is a popular choice for pairing with Brussels sprouts, as its saltiness and richness balances out the bitterness of the sprouts. When combined with Brussels sprouts in a pan, the fat from the pancetta renders out and coats the sprouts, creating a crispy, flavorful dish. This article will provide you with a variety of recipes for cooking Brussels sprouts with pancetta, each with its own unique flavor profile. Whether you prefer a simple sautéed preparation or a more complex dish with multiple ingredients, you're sure to find a recipe here that will suit your taste.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
2 teaspoons thyme leaves
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 pounds baby brussels sprouts, washed and trimmed (cut larger ones in two)
Salt and pepper
6 ounces pancetta in small dice (1 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup veal stock or rich chicken broth, more if needed
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix bread crumbs and thyme with 1/4 cup olive oil, and spread on a cookie sheet. Toast, tossing frequently, until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Heat butter and remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foamy. Add brussels sprouts, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sauté, tossing frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add diced pancetta, and sauté, tossing frequently, until sprouts are well browned and softened slightly, and pancetta is crisp, about 10 minutes more. Reduce heat, add shallots and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, 2 minutes.
  • Increase heat to high, add balsamic vinegar and stock, and cook, tossing frequently, until sprouts are glazed and tender, about 10 minutes; add more stock if needed. Taste, adjusting seasoning if necessary, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Transfer to a warm serving bowl and scatter bread crumbs on top.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic and Pancetta image

For maximum caramelization, make sure the cut side of the Brussels sprouts are flush with the bottom of the baking dish. As the whole thing bakes, the salty pancetta fat will melt over the sprouts imparting luscious porky flavor as the pancetta itself turns crisp.

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds Brussels sprouts, any loose outer leaves trimmed and the sprouts halved, or quartered if large
2 tablespoons olive oil
One 1 1/4-inch-thick slice pancetta, cut into small cubes
Kosher salt and white pepper
Cider vinegar, optional

Steps:

  • Fill a medium saucepan with several inches of salted water and bring to a boil. Add the sprouts and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse immediately under cold water. Drain well.
  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan (not nonstick) over medium-low heat. Add the pancetta and saute until browned in spots, about 8 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the sprouts, spreading them out so that they are, for the most part, in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, turning occasionally, until the sprouts are nicely golden in spots and fork tender, about 12 minutes. If the sprouts begin to brown all over and stick to the pan, add a splash of vinegar to the pan to help loosen the browned bits.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and serve.

Spruce up your sprouts this Christmas - Gordon Ramsay's recipe creates a really rich flavour

Provided by Gordon Ramsay

Categories     Dinner, Side dish

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1kg Brussels sprouts
100g thinly sliced pancetta, cut into 2cm strips
about 4 tbsp hot goose fat
shredded sage

Steps:

  • Blanch the Brussels sprouts in a pan of boiling salted water for 3 mins, then drain and tip into a bowl of iced water to cool quickly. Drain well again and set aside until nearly ready to serve. Sauté the pancetta in the hot goose fat until crisp. Toss in the sprouts and stir-fry for 2-3 mins, adding the sage to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, bright green Brussels sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end and any wilted or discolored leaves.
  • Halve or quarter the Brussels sprouts: If they are large, cut them in half or quarters. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use good quality pancetta: Pancetta is an unsmoked Italian bacon. It has a salty, savory flavor that pairs well with the Brussels sprouts.
  • Cook the pancetta until crispy: This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan: Cook them over medium heat until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Season the Brussels sprouts: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Brussels sprouts with pancetta is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. The Brussels sprouts are roasted until tender and slightly browned, and the pancetta adds a salty, savory flavor. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
