Step 1

Melt 30g butter in a large frying pan or wok over a low heat, add the pancetta and cook gently for 10-15 minutes, until golden and crisp and most of the fat has rendered. Transfer to a plate, leaving as much fat as possible in the pan.

Add the onions to the pan and fry over a medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes, until softened and starting to char. Scoop out onto the plate with the cooked pancetta.

Step 3

Return the pan to the heat and add the remaining 15g butter and sprouts. Turn the heat up to high, season the sprouts with salt, then fry, stirring, for 5-10 minutes until the sprouts are just starting to soften and have caught around the edges. Add the honey and vinegar, then continue to cook for 30 seconds.
