Directions
-
Blanch the sprouts in boiling water until they are firm in the middle but soft around the outside. Place into a bowl of ice water to cool.
-
Sweat the onion and garlic in the ham fat over medium low heat until onions are golden in color.
-
Add the ham and sweat an additional 5 minutes.
-
Add sprouts, toss to distribute throughout the pan. Add ham drippings.
-
Turn the heat down to low and allow the sprouts to steam until the liquid evaporates enough to emulsify with the fat in the pan.
-
Adjust seasoning. Note: the ham drippings are packed full of flavor, so season sparingly.
