The first time my friends tasted my new side dish, they said it was phenomenal. The longer you let it chill in the fridge, the more tender the sprouts will be. -Nick Iverson, Denver, Colorado

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Good olive oil
3 ounces pancetta, 1/4-inch diced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced shallots (3 large)
2 (12-ounce) packages fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon syrupy balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter to the same saute pan and cook over medium-high heat just until the butter melts. Add the shallots and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender and starting to brown.
  • Meanwhile, place the Brussels sprouts in the feed tube of a food processor fitted with the large slicing disk. (You don't need to core them.) Process the sprouts in batches until they are all sliced, transferring them to a bowl. Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan with the shallots, add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally (I use tongs), until crisp-tender and bright green. Add the pancetta and cook for 1 more minute. Off the heat, stir in the balsamic vinegar, season to taste, and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts. Look for sprouts that are firm and have tightly closed leaves.
  • Shave the Brussels sprouts thinly. This will help them cook evenly and absorb the dressing better.
  • Roast the pecans. Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a flavorful dressing. The dressing is what will really make this salad shine. Try a dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey.
  • Add some crumbled cheese. Parmesan, feta, or goat cheese would all be great additions to this salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This shaved Brussels sprouts salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this winter vegetable. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a side dish or a light lunch, give this salad a try!
