Method

  1. To make the Pancetta-Wrapped Brussels Sprouts, start by blanching the sprouts in salted boiling water for about fifteen minutes, then let them cool and cut them in half. Cut the frankfurters into thin rounds, dice the Gruyère and fill the sprouts with a small piece of each.
  2. Wrap a slice of pancetta around the sprouts and secure it with a toothpick: melt the butter with the sage and rosemary in a skillet and cook the Pancetta-Wrapped Brussels Sprouts in it, turning them often. Once they are browned, deglaze with some dry white wine, finish cooking over high heat and serve the rolls piping hot. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
