I was going through some photos when came across this one of brussels sprouts, pancetta and chestnuts. I made this a while ago when I made some roasted chestnuts . I was looking for some recipes using chestnuts an I found a few for brussels sprouts and chestnuts. Given that they are both in season at the same time it is not so surprising that they would used together. I had also been looking for some brussels sprouts recipes so this one made it to my meal plan right away. It was pretty good. The slightly sweet chestnuts went well with the saltiness of pancetta and brightened up the brussels sprouts nicely.

This is similar to a recipe I just pulled from the NY Times, but theirs has a brown butter sauce and no pancetta. I’ll have to try both and compare. Thanks for the recipe!
Brussel sprouts are good eatins’ and your dish certainly lends to that.
Pity I roasted the chestnuts I bought before my accident. Looks very good and shall try it asap.
Oo, great minds think alike. I just bought Brussels sprouts, bacon and chestnuts, with the idea of likely combining them. So obviously – looks good!
