Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. brussels sprouts
- 6 oz. pancetta, diced
- 3 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 head radicchio, about 8 oz., trimmed and cut
- into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 1 1/2 Tbs. finely chopped fresh marjoram
- Salt, to taste
- 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth, plus more as
- needed
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cut or pull off any dry outer leaves from the brussels sprouts. Trim away any brown spots and slice off the dry stem end. Using a food processor fitted with the slicing blade, shred the brussels sprouts. Set aside.
- On the stovetop, heat an oval copper roasting pan or large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook the pancetta until crispy and golden brown, about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a small bowl. Pour off the fat from the pan and discard, then wipe out the pan with paper towels.
- Set the pan over medium heat and warm the olive oil. Add the brussels sprouts and stir to coat with the oil. Cook until the brussels sprouts begin to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir again, then add the radicchio, marjoram and salt and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the 1/4 cup broth. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally and adding more broth as needed, until the brussels sprouts are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the pancetta and stir to incorporate. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the brussels sprouts to a warmed serving bowl and serve immediately. Serves 6 to 8.
- <b>Make-Ahead Tip:</b> Trim and slice the brussels sprouts and radicchio and dice the pancetta up to 1 day in advance. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
