Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup creme fraiche
1/3 cup whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Canola oil, for frying
2 pounds Brussels sprouts, quartered or cut into sixths, depending on size
1 Granny Smith apple, cut into matchsticks

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk the creme fraiche, mustard, vinegar and honey. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Fill a large deep skillet with 2 to 3 inches canola oil; heat to 350 degrees F over medium-high heat. Add half of the Brussels sprouts in small batches, waiting for the bubbling to subside before adding more; they should begin to sizzle and fry immediately. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the Brussels sprouts with a slotted spoon and place on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Season generously with salt. Repeat with the remaining Brussels sprouts.
  • Put the Brussels sprouts on a platter and drizzle with half of the dressing; toss. Season with salt and pepper and top with the apple. Serve with the remaining dressing.

1 cup heavy cream
Pinch of cayenne pepper

STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts image

Brussels sprouts caramelize to a deep, delicious brown while retaining a fresh bite in minutes when cooked on the stovetop. In this adaptation of wok stir-frying, the sprouts quickly sear in a single layer in a skillet, then steam through with a splash of water to tenderize their tough cores. Crushed garlic cloves release their aroma into the hot oil, but are in chunks big enough to not burn and get bitter. A final sprinkle of sugar, soy sauce and red-pepper flakes give the sprouts a nice balance of sweet, salty and spicy. You can eat this with other stir-fries and steamed rice or alongside any main dish. Leftovers, reheated or cold, can be tossed into grain bowls and salads.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola oil
4 garlic cloves, smashed, then peeled
1 pound brussels sprouts, halved or quartered, if large
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
Red-pepper flakes, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over high for a few minutes. Drops of water should skitter across the surface then evaporate quickly. Set the pan lid and 1/2 cup water next to the stove. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan (3 to 4 tablespoons), then add garlic and sizzle until fragrant and wisps of smoke rise from the oil, about 15 seconds. Add brussels sprouts, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir to coat with oil. Spread in an even layer, carefully add water and immediately cover.
  • Cook without stirring until the water has almost completely evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes. After silent simmering, there will be loud popping sounds that quiet to a crackle.
  • Uncover, sprinkle with sugar and soy sauce, and stir for 1 minute. Sprinkle with red-pepper flakes and serve.

FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Fried Brussels Sprouts image

The brussels sprouts should be thoroughly dry before frying. Any water clinging to the sprouts will cause the oil to splatter. The oil takes time to come up to temperature, so get that heating on the stove top before prepping the other ingredients.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable oil, for frying
1 pound brussels sprouts, halved lengthwise (4 cups)
Kosher salt
3 small shallots, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds (1/2 cup)
2 Fresno or red finger chiles, thinly sliced into rounds (1/3 cup)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

Steps:

  • In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 inches of oil over medium-high. When oil reaches 360 degrees on a thermometer, carefully add 1/3 of the brussels sprouts. Cook, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray with a slotted spoon and sprinkle with salt. Fry remaining sprouts in batches, returning oil to 360 degrees between each batch. Add shallots and chiles to oil and fry until slightly wrinkled and just beginning to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to tray with sprouts.
  • Whisk lime juice and maple syrup in a large bowl. Add brussels sprouts, shallots, and chiles, tossing to coat evenly in lime mixture. Season with more salt to taste. Serve immediately.

CIDER-GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Cider-Glazed Brussels Sprouts image

Simple roasted brussels sprouts get an autumnal upgrade when they are tossed with a tangy, sweet glaze made from apple cider, apple cider vinegar and mustard. If you're making these for Thanksgiving, make the glaze (see Tip) and trim the brussels sprouts in advance, then pop the sprouts into the oven while the turkey rests. Note that this recipe is easily doubled for larger groups: Just use a larger skillet for the sauce and two sheet pans for the sprouts.

Categories     easy, vegetables, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved, quartered if very large
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots (about 2 medium shallots)
2 cups apple cider
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the brussels sprouts on a sheet pan. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well and roast for 25 to 35 minutes, tossing a few times throughout, until evenly browned and tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low. Add the shallots and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until tender and starting to brown. In a medium-small bowl or glass measuring cup, combine the cider, cider vinegar, mustard, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and whisk until smooth. Add this mixture to the shallots and bring to a boil.
  • Cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until reduced to about 3/4 cup and thickened. (The glaze will continue to thicken as it cools.) Set aside until ready to use.
  • Pour the glaze over the roasted brussels sprouts directly on the sheet pan, toss, and serve.

Tips:

  • Half or Quarter the Brussels Sprouts: Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise if they're small or quarter them lengthwise if they're medium to large.
  • Don't Crowd the Brussels Sprouts in the Pan: Give the Brussels sprouts enough space in the pan so that they can brown and crisp up properly approximately 12 ounces Brussels sprouts for a 12 inch skillet.
  • Don't Overcook the Brussels Sprouts: Cook the Brussels sprouts just until they're tender-crisp, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Make Sure the Mustard Dressing is Emulsified: Emulsify the mustard dressing by slowly whisking in the olive oil until the mixture is thick and creamy.
  • Serve the Brussels Sprouts Warm: Serve the Brussels sprouts warm with the mustard dressing drizzled over top.

Conclusion:

These fried Brussels sprouts with creamy mustard and cider dressing are a delicious and easy side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. The Brussels sprouts are crispy and tender, and the mustard dressing is tangy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
