Sure!
Shaved Brussel Sprouts with Chestnuts and Pancetta
- 2lb. brussel sprouts (fresh if you can get them but frozen is fine)
- 6 oz. pancetta cut into 1/4" pieces
- 4 tbs. unsalted butter
- 1-1/2 cups finely chopped chestnuts
Remove the outer leaves from the sprouts and cut in half through the stem. and julienne. Set aside.
Cook the pancetta in a pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan.
Add butter, and brown (don't let it burn)
Add sprouts and cook until tender (5-7 min)
Add the chestnuts and pancetta and cook for 2 more minutes.
Salt and Pepper and serve.
That's the recipe as I found it. I doubled the pancetta and think that is why I got the good reviews. I got the chestnuts from Williams-Sonoma. They are already peeled and ready to use (Marrons French Chestnuts). I hate cooking and peeling chestnuts but love to eat them.:D

That just perpetuates my belief that if you add enough bacon (pancetta) to anything, you can make it down right edible. If you double it, all the more delicious!
(I actually do like brussel sprouts but will still try that out on the rest of my crew) |
