CARAMELIZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS PASTA WITH TOASTED CHICKPEAS



Caramelized Brussels Sprouts Pasta With Toasted Chickpeas image

This fast and satisfying vegetarian weeknight pasta packs in a whole pound of brussels sprouts. The mountain of shredded sprouts may seem like a lot, but like spinach, it will cook down. As the sprouts soften, they caramelize and naturally sweeten, losing any hints of bitterness. Chickpeas are toasted in olive oil until deep golden brown, crispy in spots and super toasty. They bring a nutty, earthy flavor to the dish, complementing the tangy capers and lemony sauce. Leftovers are tasty enjoyed cold like pasta salad, added to a frittata, or sautéed in olive oil until golden and topped with a fried egg.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt and black pepper
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and patted dry
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and very thinly sliced (about 5 tightly packed cups)
8 ounces dried tagliatelle pasta
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 1/2 ounces), plus more for serving
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven or a large, deep skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Add chickpeas, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and well toasted, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chickpeas to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add the butter, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the oil to the Dutch oven and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add brussels sprouts, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions in the boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving 2 cups of the pasta water.
  • Add the pasta, 1 cup reserved pasta water, about 3/4 of the toasted chickpeas and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the Dutch oven. Stir in the Parmesan, capers, lemon juice, red-pepper flakes and half the chives until well incorporated and saucy, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add more pasta water if a thinner sauce is desired.
  • Divide pasta among bowls. Top with remaining toasted chickpeas and chives. Garnish with more black pepper and Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, deep green sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any sprouts that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end of each sprout and remove any damaged or discolored leaves.
  • Slice the Brussels sprouts: Cut each sprout in half or quarters, depending on their size.
  • Use a large skillet: This will help the Brussels sprouts caramelize evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too many Brussels sprouts to the skillet, they will steam instead of caramelizing.
  • Cook the Brussels sprouts over medium heat: This will allow them to caramelize slowly and evenly.
  • Stir the Brussels sprouts frequently: This will help them brown evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Add lemon juice and zest at the end of cooking: This will brighten up the flavor of the Brussels sprouts and balance out the sweetness of the caramelization.
  • Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Caramelized Brussels sprouts with lemon are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from weeknight dinners to holiday feasts. The Brussels sprouts are roasted until tender and caramelized, then tossed with a tangy lemon-herb sauce. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and healthy. So next time you're looking for a new way to prepare Brussels sprouts, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
