Brussel Sprouts and Pork Belly

Candied Cippolini Onions

Truffle Aioli

Method

Brussel Sprouts and Pork Belly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussel Sprouts

    Trim the ends of the brussel sprouts and cut them in half. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork Belly

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the pork belly and cook until crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Sauté Brussel Sprouts

    In the same skillet, add olive oil. Once hot, add the brussel sprouts, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until crispy and golden, about 8-10 minutes.

Candied Cippolini Onions

  1. 4

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel the cippolini onions and set aside.

  2. 5

    Candy the Onions

    In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the cippolini onions, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar. Cook until onions are tender and caramelized, about 15 minutes.

Truffle Aioli

  1. 6

    Mix the Aioli

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, truffle oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Assembly
