Brussels sprouts baked with nuts and berries topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 170 g pancetta, diced into large cubes
- 4 tbsp capers without brine
- 1 liter halved Brussels sprouts (remove outer leaves and stems)
- 1.5 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup pine nuts
- 1/4 cup dried currants
- 1/4 cup raisins
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté the pancetta and capers. Remove from the pan, reserving some of the rendered fat.
Place the Brussels sprouts in a skillet and cook over medium heat until they begin to brown. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, season with a little salt (the capers and pancetta are already salted), and season with pepper.
Place in the oven and roast the cabbage, stirring a couple of times, until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
- Place pine nuts in a small dry skillet and toast over low heat, stirring a couple of times, until light brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the cooked Brussels sprouts from the oven and place them in a large serving bowl. Add the pancetta, capers, pine nuts, currants, and raisins. Stir and check for seasoning. Serve.
