BRUSSELS SPROUTS LARDONS
Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and add the pancetta. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the fat is rendered and the pancetta is golden brown and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pancetta to a plate lined with a paper towel.
- Add the Brussels sprouts, salt, and pepper to the fat in the pan and saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Add the raisins and chicken stock. Lower the heat and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. If the skillet becomes too dry, add a little chicken stock or water. Return the pancetta to the pan, heat through, season to taste, and serve.
- Place the chickens, onions, carrots, celery, parsnips, parsley, thyme, dill, garlic, salt, and peppercorns in a 16 to 20-quart stockpot with 7 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Skim the surface as needed. Simmer uncovered for 4 hours. Strain the entire contents of the pot through a colander, discarding the chicken and vegetables, and chill. Discard the hardened fat, and then pack the broth in quart containers.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH GOLDEN RAISINS
Take a break from ordinary steamed brussels sprouts by combining them with raisins and a slightly tart dressing. Thinly slicing the sprouts makes them appeal to people who normally don't like the texture.-Michaela Rosenthal, Woodland Hills, California

BRUSSELS SPROUTS IN SAOR
This recipe is inspired by sarde in saor, a classic Venetian dish of fried sardines topped with sautéed onions, pine nuts, saffron and wine-soaked raisins balanced with a little sugar and vinegar. The saor, or sweet and sour topping, makes an ideal accompaniment to roasted brussels sprouts - served either hot or at room temperature - though it would work equally well on any vegetable side, be it green beans, cauliflower or broccoli. With lemon, vinegar and wine among its ingredients, this dish brings a welcome vividness to the Thanksgiving table - or any meal - where bright, acidic offerings are few and far between.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place racks at middle lower and middle upper positions. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine raisins and wine. Set aside to soak.
- In a large bowl, gently toss brussels sprouts with 4 tablespoons oil to coat. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread out sprouts onto prepared baking sheets, and roast until tender throughout and golden brown on the outside, 28 to 32 minutes. Halfway through cooking, rotate pans, switch their positions, and use a thin metal spatula to turn the sprouts so that they brown evenly on both sides.
- In the meantime, set a 12-inch nonreactive skillet over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons oil. When it shimmers, add onions, a generous pinch of salt and the saffron, crushing the threads with your fingers as you add them. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and just beginning to brown, 16 to 18 minutes.
- Spread the pine nuts onto a small baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. (Set a timer to prevent burning!)
- When the onions are done, add raisins and wine, pine nuts, vinegar, sugar, a few cracks of pepper, parsley, a generous pinch of salt and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed: This mixture should be sweet, bright and perk up your palate.
- To serve, mound half of the warm or room-temperature brussels sprouts on a platter and dress with half of the saor mixture and a generous squeeze of lemon. Continue with remaining sprouts, saor mixture and another squeeze of lemon. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate leftovers, which will keep for up to 5 days.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND RAISINS
My family is a huge fan of brussels sprouts. This slow cooking, stove-top method brings out the savory-sweet-salty-carmelized combination of this recipe wonderfully. Try using applewood bacon for, yet, even another layer of deliciousness. Remember to mind them well without overcooking. They should remain tender-crisp. From Epicurious.

Tips:
- Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for sprouts that are firm and have a bright green color. Avoid any sprouts that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end of each Brussels sprout and remove any loose outer leaves.
- Parboil the Brussels sprouts: This will help to tenderize them and reduce their bitterness. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the Brussels sprouts, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Drain the Brussels sprouts and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are browned and caramelized.
- Add golden raisins: Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, add golden raisins and cook for an additional 5 minutes. This will help to plump up the raisins and add a touch of sweetness to the dish.
- Serve immediately: Brussels sprouts are best served hot, so make sure to serve them as soon as they are cooked.
Conclusion:
