Brysselkål med schalottenlök och salt fläsk

This seasonal side dish of brussels sprouts with shallots and salt pork offers a sophisticated twist on a classic winter vegetable. By caramelising the shallots and sprouts in the rendered fat from the pork, you develop a deep, savoury flavour that perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the brassicas. The addition of pickle juice provides a clever hit of acidity, cutting through the richness to create a perfectly balanced accompaniment for any roast dinner.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe focuses on high-fibre vegetables and heart-healthy cooking techniques. The salt pork provides a punchy saltiness that means you can use minimal added seasoning, making it an excellent choice for those monitoring their sodium and carbohydrate intake. Serve this alongside lean roast poultry or a nut roast for a nutritious, homemade meal that does not compromise on texture or taste.

Ingredients for Brussels Sprouts with Shallots and Salt Pork

  • 150g 1/4" cubes salt pork or pancetta (about 230g )

  • 2 large shallots, peeled, quartered (about 230g )

  • Kosher salt och nymalen svartpeppar

  • 675g brussels sprouts, outer leaves removed, trimmed, halved

  • 1-2 tablespoons juice from jarred dill pickles

Blanch salt pork in a large saucepan of boiling water for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer salt pork to a paper towel- lined plate to drain. Set aside. DO AHEAD: Salt pork can be blanched 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Cook salt pork in a large heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until about 180ml fat is rendered, 10-12 minutes. Carefully strain drippings into a small bowl; return 2 tablespoons drippings and pork to pan.

Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until salt pork is browned and crisp, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons drippings to skillet; add shallots, cut sides down. Cook, turning once or twice, until tender and browned, 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer shallots to a serving platter.

Increase heat to medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons more salt pork drippings to skillet. Working in 2 batches and adding 2 more tablespoons drippings between batches, cook brussels sprouts, turning occasionally, until tender and browned. Transfer brussels sprouts to platter with shallots. DO AHEAD: Shallots and brussels sprouts can be made 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm shallots and brussels sprouts together in same skillet over medium heat before continuing.

Drizzle shallots and brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon pickle juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper and 1 tablespoon more pickle juice, if desired. Scatter salt pork over.
