We have had so many great Thanksgiving recipes posted lately so I thought we should give our widget a nice Fall makeover. So feel free to pick it up. We'll be using all month.
Today I want to share one of my new favorite Thanksgiving recipes. It is Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta. Amazing! I know most of you say... "I hate brussels sprouts"
Well not these. Even my husband was skeptical, now he loves them and you will too.
Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 ounces paper-thin slices pancetta, coarsely chopped (I've used bacon when pancetta not available and it works just fine)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup low-salt chicken broth
Directions
Partially cook the Brussels sprouts in a large pot of boiling salted water, about 4 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute until beginning to crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts to the same skillet and saute until heated through and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the broth and simmer until the broth reduces just enough to coat the Brussels sprouts, about 3 minutes.

That DOES sound good. Okay, I will make this and FORCE hubby to eat them. I am sure he will like them, too! The button looks good. Good job.
I luuuuuuurve sprouts! Specially par-boiled, sliced in half and pan fried with butter and cracked black pepper! Unfortunately, The Dutch Boy gags at the smell of them :(
LOVE the fall button :)
Brussel Sprouts are one of "those" veggies in our house. Ha! But what is they say? Try, try, try again!
I KNOW!! My husband really felt that way until he had these, now... LOVES THEM! :-)
Lana,
I may give this a try. Brussel sprouts, the first 1-3 aren't bad, but then after that....but this may be what they need.
Thanks for sharing!

You know, I've NEVER even tasted a brussel sprout. Never even knew what they were until I was on my own. Hmmm... I should ask my mom and dad about that sometime...
I'm not much into sprouts, but this might even tempt me to eat them. :D
I super heart LOVE brussel spouts! We will be trying this one :)
yummy yummy!!! hugs and prayers...
I may have to try this. I am aways looking for new veggies my family will eat. Happy TMTT!
My family isn't thrilled with Brussels sprouts, but they tolerate them if I don't fix them too often. I'm going to try this recipe and maybe they'll start asking for it!
I love brussels sprouts!

You need to make this for our Thanksgiving dinner. I know I will love them and so will your Dad.
Yum! I love brussel sprouts!! This recipe sounds delish!
This looks so good!
I am always trying to convince my husband that he likes brussel sprouts. This recipe might finally do it!
Thanks for sharing!
hmmm... I am skeptical, I think someone would have to fix it for me. I can't bring myself to buy brussel sprouts.
I will be optimistically skeptical....or skeptically optimistic, not sure which. Every past BS experience (LOL....get it?) has been an unpleasant one...but they look so gosh darn pretty. I have a friend with a good sounding recipe, too. I guess I'll have to try both :D
