Brussels Sprouts Lardons image

Copyright 2004, Barefoot in Paris. These are really very good. Update 11/28/2207: it is possible that the chicken broth may not be necessary! It could be enough with cooking them 5 minutes and browning them that they are done - pierce them to see if they are tender. Just add the raisins when browning the brussel sprouts. Update 01/20/2009: I also forgot to mention that I have made these with turkey bacon and they were just as delicious as with the other bacon!! ;)

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
6 ounces bacon or 6 ounces turkey bacon, 1/4-inch dice
1 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed & cut in 1/2
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3/4 cup raisins
1 3/4 cups low sodium chicken broth (if needed) (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large 12" sauté pan and add the pancetta or bacon.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the fat is rendered, and the pancetta or bacon, is golden brown and crisp, 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Add the Brussel sprouts, salt, and pepper to the fat in the pan and sauté over medium-heat for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Add the raisins and chicken broth. Lower the heat and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes.
  • If the skillet becomes too dry, add a little more chicken broth or water. Return the pancetta or bacon to the pan, heat through, season to taste, and serve.
