Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Guanciale Recipe
If Brussels sprouts are not on your favorite vegetable list, give this recipe a try. It might change your mind. The guanciale, a type of Italian cured bacon, makes all the difference. It has a rich flavor that makes this dish come alive.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Guanciale diced
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed, halved and cored
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 2 tbs olive oil
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Fry the guanciale in a cast iron skillet over low heat. When crisp, remove the guanciale with a slotted spoon. Do not over cook the guanciale. Wipe out the excess fat from the skillet with paper towels and discard.
- Add the Brussels sprouts and onion to the cast iron skillet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast in the oven for 12 - 15 minutes until done. Some of the loose leaves may brown, but that's OK. Top with the cooked guanciale and serve.
