BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON, CHESTNUTS, AND CREAM
At Thanksgiving, I caramelize brussel sprouts which brings out their buttery, mellow flavors. In this recipe, they meld together with bacon or pancetta, cream, onions and olives to make a spectacularly interesting dish.

Steps:
- Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Cut the pancetta into ½-inch dice; dice the onions. Add the pancetta, onion, and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan and cook until brown, 5-8 minutes. Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts.
- Smash the garlic cloves, then chop finely. Move the pancetta and onion to the sides of the pan. Add the remaining olive oil and the Brussels sprouts, cut-side down, to the center of the pan. Then add 1 tablespoon butter.
- Season evenly with salt and pepper.
- Add the chestnuts, olives, and garlic, and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6-7 minutes.
- Add the remaining butter, cream, and water. Add the sage and thyme (optional). Reduce the heat and simmer until the Brussels sprouts are tender and the liquid has thickened, 10-15 minutes. Serve hot.

[email protected]Not a fan of chestnuts, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with the chestnuts.
Nancy Asad
[email protected]This dish was a bit too rich for me. The sauce was very heavy and the bacon was a bit too salty. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

[email protected]The sprouts were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was amazing. I would try this recipe again with a shorter roasting time.
