My girlfriend went to a restaurant and ordered their Brussel sprouts. She sent me a picture and raved about how good they were. I could tell from the pic that there was something else in them. She confirmed there was apple, bacon, shallots and a maple syrup glaze. Of course, we were inspired, or at least I was, to duplicate that. And viola! Here is my duplication, which is completely amazing. The syrup definitely adds a sweet touch against the salty pancetta. If you like that kind of thing, you will love these Brussels.
