Brussel Sprouts with Pancetta

Shaved Brussel sprouts with pancetta may make everyone a fan of Brussel sprouts

Brussel sprouts don’t look as gross when they’re shaved and tossed with a bunch of bacon. Am I right?

Jason LOVES brussel sprouts. I’ve never had one til I met him. I just thought they kinda looked gross. Like little wrinkly heads. It’s not like I never had it because I didn’t want to try it, I just never went out of my way to buy them and it’s not something I ordered at restaurants. My parents never cooked with them either. I love cabbage though so I knew I’d like cooking and eating shaved brussel sprouts.

Jason and I actually came up with this recipe together. He really had a huge craving for brussel sprouts and I needed one more recipe to complete my 10 days of Thanksgiving sides and desserts so I figured we’d collaborate on one of his favorite ingredients.

After making this, I’m a lover of brussel sprouts. Plus, the pancetta part wasn’t bad, either ;)
