Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta image

This simple one-pan preparation is long on flavor, thanks to the pancetta and balsamic vinegar. If pancetta is hard to come by, substitute two thick slices of bacon.

Provided by Ruth Lively

Categories     Side dishes

Yield 2-3

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 oz. pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1/2 cup)
1 to 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
10 oz. Brussels sprouts (about 18 medium sprouts), trimmed and halved through the core
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbs. unsalted butter
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a heavy 10-inch straight-sided sauté pan set over medium- low heat, slowly cook the pancetta in 1 Tbs. of the oil until golden and crisp all over, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • With a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving the fat behind. You should have about 2 Tbs. of fat in the pan; if not, add the remaining 1 Tbs. oil. 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 the water to the pan, cover immediately, and simmer until the sprouts are tender when poked with a fork or skewer, about 3 minutes. (If the water evaporates before the sprouts get tender, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time.) With a slotted spoon, transfer the sprouts to a plate.
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat and if any water remains, let it boil off. Add the balsamic vinegar and a few grinds of pepper. Boil the vinegar until it's reduced to about 2 Tbs. and looks lightly syrupy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the butter, and stir until melted. Return the sprouts and pancetta to the pan and swirl and shake the pan to evenly coat the sprouts with the sauce. Season to taste with salt and more pepper and serve.

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.
