Ina Gartens Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Pancetta Food

INA GARTEN'S BALSAMIC ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Add the sprouts and the reserved leaves to the sheet pan. Add the pancetta (or salami). Coat with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally for even browning.
• Towards the end of cooking, prepare the balsamic syrup. Pour the vinegar into a small sauté pan and sprinkle with sugar. Reduce the mixture over medium-low heat; it will only take 1-2 minutes. Keep your eye on it so it doesn't burn! You should end up with 1 tbsp of reduced syrup.
• When the sprouts are ready, drizzle the hot balsamic syrup directly over the pan. Toss well to combine.
• Serve right away.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS PIZZA CARBONARA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475˚ F. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven.
• For the béchamel, pour the milk into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk the flour into the butter and cook for 2 minutes, whisking almost constantly. Whisk in the hot milk, switch to a wooden spoon and simmer, stirring constantly, for 2 to 5 minutes, until thick enough to leave a trail when you run your finger down the back of a spoon. Cook for one more minute. Off the heat, stir in the ricotta, egg yolks, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium (10- to 11-inch) sauté pan, add the pancetta and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until half-cooked. Transfer the pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
• Flip over two sheet pans and put 12-by-18-inch pieces of parchment paper on each pan. Roll and stretch 2 of the pizza doughs into a 9- or 10-inch circle (they don't want to be perfect!) on the parchment papers. Leaving a 1-inch border, spread 1/2 cup of the béchamel on each pizza and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan, 2 tablespoons of the Pecorino and a quarter of the pancetta. In a medium bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle the two pizzas evenly with half of the Brussels sprouts. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the crust is nicely browned, including the bottom. Cut each pizza into 6 wedges with a large chef's knife and serve hot. Repeat for the remaining two pizzas.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the Brussels Sprouts (1 pound) on a baking sheet, including any of the loose leaves. Cut the Pancetta (4 ounce) into 1/2-inch dices and add to the pan. Add the Olive Oil (1/4 cup), the Kosher Salt (1/2 teaspoon) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1/2 teaspoon) and toss with your hands. Spread out the mixture in a single layer.
• Roast the brussels sprouts until they're tender and nicely browned and the pancetta is cooked, 20 to 30 minutes, tossing once at the 20-minute mark.
• Meanwhile, place Balsamic Vinegar (1 tablespoon) in a small saucepan or frying pan and simmer gently until it is reduced by half and looking syrupy - be careful here! Err on the side of under reducing - once the balsamic starts thickening, it can burn quickly. At the first sign of the balsamic getting too thick or dark, transfer it to a small bowl.
• Remove pan from the oven, drizzle immediately with the balsamic vinegar and toss again. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
