GINGER ORANGE BRUSSELS SPROUTS
This is a great way to liven up Brussels sprouts. The orange and ginger zing pair perfectly with the sprouts' floral flavors. I have a blood orange infused olive oil that I like to use with this recipe. It helps with the zing. Other dried fruits or nuts might be interesting experiments.

GINGERED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
A recent recipe request looking for dishes for 1 or 2 reminded me of an old cookbook dedicated to that topic. Though I have not made this in a while, it was one of my favorite sides. Posting it here so it doesn't get lost and to share it with others. The flavors in this side work quite nicely with a simple roasted or grilled meat or fish.

Steps:
- Put the cream in a heavy pan over medium-low heat. Bring to a boil and cook at a slow but steady boil until the cream is reduced by one-third and is thick and yellow.
- Meanwhile, rinse and trim the brussels sprouts. Cut each in quarters and grate or process in a food processor until the sprouts are the consistency of homemade cole slaw. In the food processor, this is best done in two batches, using the on-off pulse mechanism.
- When the cream is reduced, add the ginger and garlic and mix well. Grate eight or 10 scrapings of nutmeg into the cream, or more if you wish. Add the shredded sprouts and turn in the cream to coat the sprouts well. Return to medium heat and braise, uncovered, stirring and turning frequently, for five to six minutes. The sprouts should be al dente, that is, cooked through but with a crisp bite to them. Check for seasoning, adding salt and freshly ground white pepper if necessary. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose firm and tightly closed Brussels sprouts: Avoid any that are wilted or have yellow leaves.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts: Remove any tough outer leaves and trim the stem end.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will ensure that the Brussels sprouts have enough room to cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking a lot of Brussels sprouts, cook them in batches so that they don't steam instead of sautéing.
- Cook the Brussels sprouts until they are tender: This should take about 10-12 minutes.
- Season the Brussels sprouts to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
- Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately: They are best when they are hot and crispy.
