Pancetta & Garlic Brussles Sprouts

This recipe is a nice and easy side dish that goes great with just about anything. I never liked brussles sprouts until I ate them this way. The pancetta and garlic really add just the right amount of flavor to make you forget your eating the sprouts, and then to make you actually crave them in the future. This is a great light side to go with steaks, or you can stir in some cooked pasta and a little more olive oil and to make it a hearty side or main.

Ingredients: 
1 lb shaved brussles (buy the pre-shaved ones and save a lot of time! Or just use whole ones and slice them up)
1 oz pancetta, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp olive oil
dash of salt and pepper

Directions:

1) Saute the pancetta on medium heat in a pan until nice and crispy.

2) Add the olive oil, garlic and brussles sprouts. Saute for about 5-10 minutes, until the sprouts are tender but still have a little crisp to them.

3) Season with salt and pepper and enjoy!
