You know I love a side dish that comes together fast. And while this one just misses my “5 minute side” designation, it’s not far from at only 10 minutes and a whole bunch of delicious. Very “holiday” feeling, and easy peasy.
White Baking Dish | Copper Candlesticks | Fluted Taper Candles
Four ingredients, seasoned only with salt and pepper, all you need is a sauté pan and a dinner party to attend. Ok, you could even make this without the dinner party.
And before you get worried about the “ginger” aspect, candied ginger is a total sleeper ingredient and I’m going to start using it way more because it really makes this special. Every so often you get a little bite with ginger in it, and it’s just exquisite.
So with that holiday pot luck coming up and everyone being short on time, give this one a try. It’s seriously tasty.
Cranberry Ginger Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta
Ingredients:
- 4 oz uncured pancetta
- 18 oz shaved brussels sprouts
- 1/4 cup candied ginger small diced
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Heat a sauté pan on the stove over medium heat. Add the pancetta and sauté for 5 minutes until it starts to brown and crisp and a good amount of fat renders out. Add the shaved Brussels sprouts, diced candied ginger and dried cranberries. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper and toss together.
- Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels are tender but not mushy. Remove to a serving dish and serve warm alongside your favorite holiday spread.
Looks amazing! I would like to add this to my Thanksgiving dinner. Can this be made the day before and reheated?
Reheating Brussels sprouts won’t be as tasty the next day, but everything can be prepped beforehand and then just tossed into a pan and sautéed in about 10 minutes.
My niece made Christmas Eve and this dish was a hit. I will be making
Glad y’all enjoyed it!
This was delicious! So simple and easy to make. Definitely will be one of my go to sides.
This was so easy and so delicious! I didn’t plan to make this, but I was able to easily buy the ingredients on a last-minute Trader Joe’s run. I couldn’t believe how fast it all came together, and the ginger really made the dish.
