SAUTEED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND ONIONS



Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Onions image

This is a simple yet delicious recipe that takes little time to put together. It's a tasty way to incorporate a healthy, and often snubbed, vegetable into one's diet. I've been cooking Brussels sprouts this way for years. I'm not sure where I got the recipe. Using fresh Brussels sprouts is preferred naturally, but if not readily available, frozen Brussels sprouts may be used instead. If using frozen Brussels sprouts, you may have to drain any excess liquid that is rendered while cooking the sprouts.

Pan sautéed Brussels sprouts are a quick, easy way to make delicious Brussels sprouts you'll want to eat every night! Crispy, caramelized, and addictive!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Side Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
1 to 2 tablespoons raw pine nuts (or chopped raw walnuts, almonds, or pecans (optional))
Chopped fresh herbs like parsley (cilantro or mint (optional))
A handful of Parmesan (feta, or goat cheese (optional))

Steps:

  • Heat a large cast iron or similar sturdy bottomed skillet over medium high for 4 minutes. Add the oil. As soon as the oil is hot and shining (but before it starts smoking), swirl to cost the pan, then add the halved Brussels sprouts. Shake the skillet a little and prod them so that as many as possible are cut-side down. Let sit completely undisturbed for 5 to 8 minutes, until they develop a dark, tasty, caramelized sear.
  • Add the salt and pepper. With a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the Brussels sprouts. Continue cooking, stirring every few minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are browned all over and just turning tender the inside, about 6 to 8 additional minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vinegar, then the pine nuts or almonds. Let the residual heat of the skillet toast the nuts, stirring them very often so that they toast evenly on all sides and do not burn (if they aren't toasting, return the skillet to low heat). As soon as the nuts are toasted, transfer the sprouts to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Enjoy hot.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (about 10-ounce) basket Brussels sprouts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small red onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Trim outer leaves and stems from Brussels sprouts, and discard. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, and add salt. Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Add Brussels sprouts to boiling water, and cook until tender but still bright green, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and plunge into ice-water bath to cool. Drain well, and cut in half.
  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts, and cook, tossing occasionally, until they are brown and crisp on the edges, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and transfer to a large bowl. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon each butter and oil to the same pan over medium-low heat. Add onions, and cook, tossing occasionally, until wilted and transparent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add vinegar (stand back to avoid the fumes), and stir to loosen any brown bits on bottom of pan. Cook until vinegar is reduced and the onions are glazed, about 30 seconds.
  • Add onions to Brussels sprouts, and toss well. Serve immediately.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH GARLIC AND ONIONS



Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Garlic and Onions image

I got this from eat better America and it is great. It says it serves 2, I usually use about a pound of sprouts and several cloves of garlic for our whole family. I've made this several times now and we like to cook it longer so they are nice and brown.

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 ounces Brussels sprouts

Spray generously or drizzle with olive oil, toss the vegetables to coat them lightly with oil. Spread out evenly in a non stick baking dish. I think you could also spray a baking sheet or line it with foil.

SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH SAUSAGE AND PICKLED RED ONION



Sautéed Brussels Sprouts With Sausage and Pickled Red Onion image

There's a special place at the dinner table for anything cooked in bacon or sausage fat, but brussels sprouts pair especially well with that kind of smoky, fatty flavor. Caramelized in sausage drippings, the sprouts stay lighter than expected thanks to some quickly pickled red onion and lots of fresh parsley.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     weeknight, vegetables

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small red onion, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch slices
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound Italian sausage (hot or sweet), casings removed
1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 cup flat-leaf Italian parsley, tender leaves and stems (about 1/2 bunch), roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Toss onion in vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet (at least 12-inches) over medium-high heat. Add sausage, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break it up into smaller pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sausage is cooked through, browned and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove sausage from skillet, leaving any fat behind. Set aside.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet along with brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper and shake skillet so that most of the sprouts land cut-side down, turning some over with a fork, if necessary. Cook, without stirring, until brussels sprouts are well browned on one side, 5 to 8 minutes. Shake skillet to continue to brown sprouts all over, another 5 to 8 minutes. Add sausage back into skillet and stir to combine.
  • Remove from heat and add onions and any vinegar left over, tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper, add parsley and serve.
