Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ounces pancetta, big dice
4 tablespoons capers, drained
2 pints Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup currants
1/4 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan and cook over medium heat to begin to brown. Dress with balsamic and olive oil, a little salt (capers and pancetta are salty) and pepper. Place into the oven and roast, tossing a couple of times, until nicely caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Put the pine nuts in a small, dry, saute pan and toast over a low flame, tossing a couple of times, just until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Once the sprouts are ready, remove them from the oven and put into a big serving bowl. Add the pancetta, the capers, pine nuts, currants and raisins. Toss and check for seasoning. Serve.
