How To Make glazed brussel sprouts w/ pancetta

  • Step 1
    In a heavy skillet slowly cook the diced pancetta in 1 Tbls of the oil until golden and crisp all over, about 10 minutes. Remove the pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving the fat behind. Add the other Tbl of oil to pan along with the sprouts and diced onions. Brown the sprouts over med heat. Try to heat sprouts in a single layer. When sprouts are lightly browned add the chicken broth and water, cover immediately. Simmer until the sprouts are fork done.
