Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 19m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Canola oil, for deep-frying
1 clove garlic, minced
4 salt-packed anchovy fillets, rinsed, filleted and minced
1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced on the bias
1/2 cup walnut pieces, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered lengthwise
2 cups loosely packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 tablespoons salt-packed capers, rinsed and patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour enough oil into a medium pot so that the oil comes 3 inches up the sides. Heat the oil to 350 degrees.
  • While the oil is heating, whisk together the garlic, anchovies, serrano, red wine vinegar, honey, scallions, walnuts and extra-virgin olive oil in a bowl large enough to toss all of the Brussels sprouts. Keep the bowl near the stovetop.
  • Working in batches, deep-fry the Brussels sprouts until the edges begin to curl and brown, about 3 minutes. To the last batch, add the parsley and capers (stand back-the capers will pop and sputter!). Give the contents of the pot a stir. When the color of the parsley becomes a deeper, more saturated shade of green, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, remove the contents of the pot with a skimmer and place directly in the bowl of dressing. Toss to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Roasting brussels sprouts brings out their nutty sweetness and keeps them crisp-crunchy around the edges. Tossing them with walnuts and tangy, jewel-like pomegranate seeds adds texture and brightness. It's worth seeking out pomegranate molasses (widely available in most large grocery stores) to finish this dish. But if you can't find it, don't let it stop you from make this celebration-worthy side.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup roughly chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds, plus more to taste
Pomegranate molasses, for drizzling (optional)
Flaky salt, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss brussels sprouts with the olive oil. Season well with the salt and black pepper and toss again. Spread everything evenly on a sheet pan cut-side-down and roast until crisp and deeply golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through to ensure even browning.
  • Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to ensure they don't burn, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • When the brussels sprouts are done roasting, toss them with the toasted walnuts and the pomegranate seeds. Drizzle with the pomegranate molasses (about 1 teaspoon or so), if using. Season with flaky salt.

Tips:

  • Buy fresh Brussels sprouts. Look for firm sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any sprouts that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts. Cut off the stem end and any damaged leaves.
  • Blanch the Brussels sprouts. This will help to soften them and remove any bitterness. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the Brussels sprouts and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Drain the Brussels sprouts and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Roast the Brussels sprouts. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Make the walnut vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir in the walnuts.
  • Serve the Brussels sprouts. Drizzle the walnut vinaigrette over the roasted Brussels sprouts and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Roasted Brussels sprouts with walnut vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The Brussels sprouts are roasted until tender and slightly browned, and the walnut vinaigrette adds a nutty and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
