Steps:
- In a heavy 10 inch saute pan, set over medium low heat, slowly cook pancetta in 1 tablespoons olive oil until golden and crisp all over. About 15 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer pancetta to a plate lined with a paper towel, leaving fat in pan. You should have about 2 Tbsps. of fat remaining, if not add remaining 1 tablespoons oil to pan. Have ready 1/2 cup water.
- Put the pan over medium high heat and arrange the sprouts cut side down in a single layer. Cook undisturbed until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes. When the sprouts are browned, add water to the pan, cover immediately and simmer until the sprouts are tender. If water evaporates before sroupts are tender, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time. With a slotted spoon, transfer sprouts to a bowl. Return pan to medium high heat, and if any water remains, let it boil off.
- Add balsamic vinegar and a few grinds of pepper. Boil vinegar until it's reduced to about 2 Tbsps., and looks syrupy. About 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and add butter, and stir until it's melted. Return sprouts and pancetta to the pan and swirl and shake the pan until the sprouts are evenly coated.

Steps:
- Set the temp on a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Clean all the Brussels sprouts and make one cut from the top down toward the stem end, being careful not to cut all the way through. Make another cut crossing the first like an X also down toward the stem end but not all the way through. Set aside in a bowl.
- Add the olive oil and pancetta to a large saute pan over medium heat. Crisp the pancetta just until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes, then remove it from the pan and drain off half of the fat in the pan.
- Place the pan back on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes, then place the pancetta back in the pan as well.
- Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar and reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock and reduce until you have about 1/3 cup liquid glaze in the pan, about 15 minutes.
- Deep fry the Brussels sprouts until they are golden brown and green in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined sheet tray, then toss in the pan with the glaze and stir well to coat.
- Spoon into a serving dish and use a rasp grater to grate lemon zest and Parmesan over the top.

Steps:
- In a large (12 inches or wider) frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a small bowl. Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the Brussels sprouts, keeping them in a single layer as much as possible. Having a few extra sprouts is fine, but if they are mounded in a pile, they will not brown or cook evenly. If necessary, use a larger pan, cook them in two batches, or pull out the extra for another use. Stir in the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and well browned-even charred in spots. If the sprouts are browning too quickly, lower the heat to medium.
- Add the fig jam and the water and stir until the jam melts and coats the Brussels sprouts. Add the reserved pancetta and the pepper and stir to combine. Taste and add additional salt or pepper if needed. Serve warm.

Tips:
- Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, brightly colored sprouts with tightly closed leaves.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end and any discolored or damaged leaves.
- Blanch the Brussels sprouts: This helps to tenderize them and bring out their vibrant green color. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the Brussels sprouts and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Cook the pancetta: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until it is crispy. Remove the pancetta from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the balsamic glaze: In the same skillet, add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the butter.
- Combine the ingredients: Add the Brussels sprouts, pancetta, and walnuts to the skillet with the balsamic glaze. Toss to coat.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Brussels sprouts with pancetta and balsamic glaze is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The Brussels sprouts are tender and flavorful, the pancetta adds a salty and smoky flavor, and the balsamic glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
