Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts
  • ¼ pound pancetta
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or spicy brown mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly-ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Slice each Brussels sprout vertically in half and dice the pancetta into small cubes.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and let cook 2-3 minutes until pancetta starts to darken in color and release some of its fat into the pan.
  3. Add the Brussels sprouts and stir a few times to coat them in the oil and pancetta fat. Season liberally with coarse salt and pepper. Next, add in the garlic powder.
  4. Cook over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes or until the sprouts start to brown and the pancetta is crisp. Add the tablespoon of mustard and stir so it coats the sprouts. Cook another 2 minutes.
  5. Heat the broiler and add the sprouts to a baking sheet. Broil the sprouts and pancetta for 2-3 minutes until they are charred and crispy.
  6. Season with more freshly-ground black pepper.
