Brussels Sprouts Salad with Pancetta and Cranberries

Ingredients
-
2 pounds baby Brussels sprouts
-
Extra-virgin olive oil
-
6 ounces pancetta, cut into small dice (1 1/2 cups)
-
1/4 cup dried cranberries
-
3 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
-
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
-
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
-
1/4 cup chicken broth
-
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
1.
Pick all the Brussels sprouts apart so you have one big pile of leaves. In a large saute pan heat a 2-count of olive oil (about 2 tablespoons) over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the fat renders and the pancetta is crispy. Add the separated Brussels sprouts leaves, cranberries, shallots, and garlic. Toss well to combine all the ingredients. Add the balsamic vinegar and chicken broth and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the Brussels sprouts leaves have just wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

The mustard-Worcestershire seasoning is a tangy counterpoint to the sprouts, which--despite people's remembrances from childhood--are essentially sweet and nutty.
