Sweet potatoes are a member of the morning glory family and native to South America. Ranging from dry and starchy, the colors could be pale to red or purple. The darker orange variety is rich in beta-carotene and is the most common variety in the United States. Sweet potatoes were named “yam” for a marketing campaign in the 1930’s.

Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta — My Best Friend Is Food 11/23/2022

https://www.mybestfriendisfood.com/recipes/brussels-sprouts-with-pancetta

Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta — My Best Friend Is Food This underrated vegetable is often served overcooked and bitter. The secret to perfect sprouts is to blanch and shock the sprouts as part of the cooking process. It may add a few steps, but it is worth it.

Red Eye Gravy with Grits 💥Traditionally made with country ham, I used pancetta in this recipe. Pancetta has a high fat ratio that you need to emulsify the sauce. Most ham you will find in American grocery stores is a wet cured ham. This ham is sold in vacuum packs is soft to the touch. These hams do not have enough fat to make the recipe work. However, you can use a wet cured ham, but add some bacon fat to the pan.

You can serve this gravy with a variety of meals. Pictured here is red eye with grits and a fried egg. It is also delicious with biscuits.
