Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved
1/4 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground pepper
3 oz pancetta, diced
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/2 cup chicken stock
Instructions
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add Brussels sprouts; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes to brown the sprouts. Reduce heat to medium and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the sprouts soften slightly. Add the pancetta, cook 2 to 3 minutes or until it begins to crisp.
Stir in the shallots and garlic and continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently or until the garlic and shallot have softened. Stir in the maple syrup and cook until thickened and reduced by about half. Finally, add in the broth and simmer until the sprouts are crisp-tender and most of the liquid has cooked off leaving a thick syrupy glaze that coats the sprouts.
