Ingredients

• 750g Brussles Sprouts,
• 2 cloves garlic, finely sliced
• 50g pancetta, sliced
• 2/3 cup cream
• 2t lemon juice
• salt and pepper

Directions

1. Wash the brussels sprouts and trim the base and the outer dark green leaves off. Cut into halves or quarters and set aside.

2. Heat a fry pan over medium heat and add the pancetta, cooking slowly, stirring occasionally until the fat has rendered out and the rendered and it has crisped. Add the brussels sprouts and fry for a few minutes so that the occasional side browns. These browned bits will become lovely and sweet.

3. Add the cream, garlic and season with salt and pepper. Stir and cover. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, and cook for 20 – 30 minutes until the brussels sprouts are tender and the cream has reduced and thickened. Season with lemon juice and salt and pepper and plate and serve.
