Sun Dried Tomato Brussels Sprouts
Overview
These little sprouts, really they're little cabbages, are always great with bacon, or in this case, pancetta, Italy's unsmoked version of the pork belly. We love the addition of fennel to any brussels sprouts recipe, including this one. You can use fresh fennel or the seeds, whole or ground. This is a super simple, super easy, super delizioso side dish for your favorite main courses. It also goes nicely tossed with your favorite pasta or noodles. Buon appetito!
