Description

Brussels sprouts are good for you (who knew?). They have a lot of fiber, vitamin K, vitamin C, folate, vitamin A, magnesium, potassium, glucosinolates, etc, etc, etc. Some new research has also discovered that Brussels sprouts contain a substance that can have DNA-protective benefits!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Fresh Brussels Sprouts, Halved
  • 3 ounces, weight Thick Cut Pancetta, Diced
  • ½ cups Thinly Sliced Onion
  • ⅓ cups Red Wine Vinegar, Divided
  • 4 teaspoons Raw Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • ¼ cups Pistachios, Dry Roasted
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper

Preparation

Cut Brussels sprouts in half and place in a steamer. Steam over boiling water for approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and add pancetta pieces. Saute over medium-high heat until pancetta begins to crisp. Add onions and 2 Tablespoons of red wine vinegar. Continue to cook for around 5 minutes or until onions become soft. Reduce heat to medium and add steamed Brussels sprout halves, remainder of red wine vinegar, sugar, and garlic powder. Saute for approximately 7-8 minutes or until vinegar thickens. Add fresh ground black pepper to taste. Transfer sprouts to a serving dish.

Crush pistachios in a coffee grinder (set to the coarsest setting). Sprinkle crushed pistachios over sprouts and serve!!

This looks fantastic! I bet the pistachios add a nice crunch and flavor. Will be trying it.

I really liked this dish! I used bacon instead of pancetta (it’s a lot easier to find in my part of the country). My husband thought it was a little on the sweet side, but I didn’t think so.
