BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA & ONIONS - GLUTEN FREE

This is a super easy recipe to whip up. There may be only three ingredients but this dish has so much flavor. Even my friends who don't like Brussels Sprouts enjoy this recipe. I ate this one night as a main but it can easily be a side dish. Also its gluten free and doesn't have any carbs so YAY for that!

INGREDIENTS:

Brussels Sprouts
Pancetta - about 150g cubed
Medium Onion - chopped

DIRECTIONS:

Clean the Brussels Sprouts, cut off the bottom and cut in half.

Steam the brussels sprouts until they turn bright green about 5 minutes.

While you steam the brussels sprouts throw the cubed pancetta and chopped onion into a pan and cook on medium heat. The pancetta will release its own oil which will cook the onion down and caramelize them. Make sure to stir periodically so that they do not burn.

When the brussel sprouts turn bright green add them to the pancetta and onion. I like to move everything over and put the brussel sprouts face down and pile the bacon and onion on top. This will let the brussel sprout get a little crispy from the pancetta oil. Leave it to cook for 2 minutes before stirring. After that let it continue to cook and stir every couple minutes until the onion fully cooks down. Now its ready to eat.

You do not need to add salt because the pancetta is salty.
