Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any outer leaves. Halve them for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pancetta

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside, leaving the fat in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Brussels Sprouts

    In the same skillet, add olive oil if needed, then add the halved Brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender, about 10-15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes

    Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes until they are softened.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the crispy pancetta to the skillet. Crumble the Gorgonzola cheese over the mixture. Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the dish and sprinkle with fennel pollen.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Toss everything together gently and serve warm, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
