1 C balsamic vinegar
1 C port wine
Pancetta, diced (approx 1/3 lbs - sub bacon if desired)
1 C brussel sprouts trimmed and quartered
Vegetable oil
Salt & pepper
Shaved parmesan cheese
1. Combine 1 C balsamic vinegar and 1 C port wine in a sauce pan. Cook on medium high heat for about 15 minutes or until thickened like syrup. Set aside to cool.
2. Dice pancetta (or thick cut bacon) and sauté on high heat. Drain grease and set pancetta aside.
3. Fill pan with approx 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat to approx 375 degrees. (If you own a frying machine, this is a good recipe to use it!)
4. Fry brussel sprouts for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then remove from pan with a slotted spoon. Place in a mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add pancetta.
5. Place brussel sprout mixture on a serving plate and top with parmesan cheese and balsamic port glaze drizzle.
Enjoy!
