SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PECORINO AND WALNUTS
Those who have eaten at Buvette, the West Village restaurant from which the recipe for this dish is adapted, will understand that if the home-cooked version tastes even 1/8th as good as the original, then you could pair it with a roast chicken and dinner will be awesome, beyond compare. And it does! Shave the sprouts with a mandoline or a food processor or a sharp, sharp knife. Then combine with raw walnut halves, pecorino crumbled off the cheese with a fork, olive oil, and salt. Mix aggressively, so that the sprouts begin to wilt a little. And that's it. You'll see.

Steps:
- Trim bottoms of brussels sprouts and discard any discolored or loose outer leaves. Using a mandoline, the slicing attachment on a food processor or a very sharp knife, shave sprouts into the thinnest of slices.
- In a large bowl, combine shaved sprouts with the other ingredients, mixing roughly by hand so that the greens begin to wilt a little. Season to taste with salt and add a little more olive oil if necessary, either for your taste or because the sprouts were large.

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA
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.
