Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta

I saw some beautiful brussels sprouts at the local farmer's market and it reminded me of a dish I had in Paris. This is very tasty and healthy dish to serve as a side or entree.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh brussels sprouts, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 ounces pancetta slices, coarsely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Sea salt & ground black pepper
• 3/4 cup chicken broth

Directions:

1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook brussels sprouts about 3 minutes then drain.
2. Heat a large skillet with butter. Add pancetta and saute until crisp which is about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute until golden. Add brussels sprouts and saute until it begins to brown which is about 5 minutes. Season with salt & pepper. Add chicken broth and simmer until the broth reduces til it's just enough to cover the brussels sprouts. Serve immediately.
