I Heart Brussels Sprouts

Yeah I like Brussels Sprouts...got a problem with that? Especially good with pork...

Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes
Side Dish for 4-ish

Olive oil
4 slices pancetta or bacon, diced
3 shallots or 1/2c onion, thinly sliced
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 big Yukon gold potatoes, cubed
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon Balsamic

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Heat oil in a very large oven-safe pan. Render pancetta/bacon, and remove.
Add the shallots or onions and saute. Add sprouts and potatoes and toss to mix and coat with fat.
Roast in the oven, turning once, for ~25 minutes, until everything is browned and cooked.
After removing from the oven, add butter, lemon juice, and vinegar. Toss to combine.
Serve with the pancetta or bacon.
