This time of year in the northern hemisphere is when vegetables like sprouts and cabbage really come into their own. Many people don't like sprouts, but cook them this way and I guarantee you will be converted.
- Slice your sprouts
- Fry up some pancetta cubes or bacon in olive oil and a little butter
- Add the sprouts and sautee until soft but not soggy
- Add some cooked chestnuts (you can get them pre-cooked and vacuum packed)
- Add lemon juice and black pepper to taste
- Serve
Actually I was looking for other stuff but your mouthwatering post stopped me by.
ReplyDeleteSprouts and cabbage are healthy and tasty and with pancetta you can't go wrong. Ciao from Italia!
Have you ever roasted your brussels sprouts? They are fantastic that way. The key is to let them roast a really long time to where they almost look burnt. I slice mine in half, shake up in a bag of olive oil, spread them over a cookie sheet and sprinkle some coarsely ground sea salt over them. Fan-freakin-tastic.
