Pre-heat oven to 350

1. Slice sprouts into strips (can be cut into halfs if you prefer)

2. cut Panchetta (or bacon) into thin strips

3. In a cast iron or other oven proof skillet add the olive oil and crisp the panchetta

4. Once the panchetta is crisp add the sprouts and stir fry

5. When the sprouts are al dente add the salt and pepper

6. Transfer the skillet from the stove to the hot oven for 10 to 15 minutes until brown on top

7. Add a little more salt and pepper before serving

An alternate preperation:

In step 2 add some shallots

In step 4 add some apple roughly chopped

Another alternate is to skip step 6 and serve directly from the stir fry if you prefer crisp vegetables
