Fried Brussel Sprouts

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussel Sprouts

    Trim the ends of the brussel sprouts and remove any yellow leaves. Cut them in half lengthwise.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pancetta

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the smoked pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Fry the Brussel Sprouts

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the halved brussel sprouts cut-side down. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown. Stir and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender.

  4. 4

    Add Hazelnuts and Herbs

    Once the brussel sprouts are cooked, add the hazelnuts and cooked pancetta back to the skillet. Toss in the fresh herbs and cook for 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the fried brussel sprouts to a serving dish and drizzle with pomegranate gastrique if desired. Serve warm.
