Steps:
- Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Cut the pancetta into ½-inch dice; dice the onions. Add the pancetta, onion, and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan and cook until brown, 5-8 minutes. Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts.
- Smash the garlic cloves, then chop finely. Move the pancetta and onion to the sides of the pan. Add the remaining olive oil and the Brussels sprouts, cut-side down, to the center of the pan. Then add 1 tablespoon butter.
- Season evenly with salt and pepper.
- Add the chestnuts, olives, and garlic, and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6-7 minutes.
- Add the remaining butter, cream, and water. Add the sage and thyme (optional). Reduce the heat and simmer until the Brussels sprouts are tender and the liquid has thickened, 10-15 minutes. Serve hot.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH SHERRY-ASIAGO CREAM SAUCE
Eating Well Magazine, November 2006 edition. Look for dry-to-medium sherry sold with other fortified wines in your wine or liquor store. This is the only way the residents here at the home will even try the vegetable -- I liked it very much. However, after tasting it I thought it needed something -- to begin with added nutmeg and then a crushed red pepper flakes, for that extra zing.

CREAM-BRAISED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Brussels sprouts tend to turn people off. This way of cooking them brings out their nutty flavor and has made the most passionate haters at my last Thanksgiving say, at the very least, that this is the best brussels sprouts have tasted. The first time I made this, it ended up being dinner - not a side dish!

Steps:
- Melt the butter in skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are browned in spots, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the cream, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the sprouts are tender and easily pierced with a fork, 30 to 35 minutes. The cream will have reduced in volume, and will have taken on a creamy beige color. Remove the lid, and stir in the lemon juice. Allow the sprouts to simmer a few minutes more until the cream thickens and coats the sprouts. Season to taste with additional salt and lemon juice before serving.
