Un savoureux mélange de choux, de croquant et de fumé amené par la pancetta rôtie

Ingredients for 4 servings

A tasty mix of Brussel's sprouts and crispy and smoky baked pancetta. Pancetta is a type of Italian cured and spiced rolled pork belly.

Pan fryed Brussel's sprouts for 4:

600 g of Brussel's sprouts
12 paper thin, slices of pancetta
coarse sea salt, table salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon of olive oil

Step-by-step directions

1- Bring 2 litres of water to the boil.

2- Trim down the Brussel's sprouts and blanch them in the boiling water for 3 minutes. Strain them. (this will prevent any digesting troubles)

3- Bring some salted water to the boil and cook your brussel's sprouts. They will be cooked when the tip of an office knife can easily get into the sprout.

4- In a large frying pan, heat up the olive oil, add in the Brussel's sprouts and the slices of pancetta.

5- Toss the lot, and season slitghly with salt and pepper. When the sprouts have reached a nice golden color and the pancetta are crispy, take the lot of the heat and serve on a nice dish.

Serve hot, either as a side dish with a roast of pork or for a frugal meal.
