BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANKO



Brussels Sprouts with Panko image

Brussels sprouts were not part of the Palestinian kitchen when I was growing up. I discovered them here in the States and very eagerly tried to push them on my children. To that end, I did what any good mother would do-I pumped up their flavor by adding a little tahini sauce and sweet pomegranate molasses. It worked! In fact these Brussels sprouts were so delicious that they made it onto the original Tanoreen menu and I've never taken them off.

Categories     Sauté     Vegetarian     Brussels Sprout     Breadcrumbs

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Corn oil for frying
4 pounds Brussels sprouts, outer leaves removed, cut in half
1 cup Thick Tahini Sauce
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 cup panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)
Pinch sea salt

Steps:

  • Pour 1/4 to 1/2 inch corn oil in a large skillet and place over a high heat until hot. To test the temperature, slip half a Brussels sprout into the pan; if it makes a popping sound, the oil is hot enough. Working in batches, fry the Brussels sprouts, turning occasionally, until they are browned all over, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sprouts to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the Thick Tahini Sauce , yogurt and pomegranate molasses in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high until hot. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the panko and stir constantly until the crumbs are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the salt and remove the breadcrumbs from the heat. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
  • Place the Brussels sprouts in a serving dish, drizzle with the sauce and top with the panko crumbs. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose small, firm Brussels sprouts: Smaller Brussels sprouts are more flavorful and tender than large ones. Avoid any with yellow or brown leaves, as these are signs of age and poor quality.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts properly: Cut off the stem end of each Brussels sprout, then remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves.
  • Cook the Brussels sprouts until they are tender but still have a slight crunch: Overcooking will make them mushy and bland. You can boil, steam, roast, or sauté the Brussels sprouts, depending on your preference. . For boiling, place the Brussels sprouts in a large pot of boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. .For steaming, place the Brussels sprouts in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover and steam for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. .For roasting, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned. .For sautéing, heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until tender.
  • Make the tahini sauce ahead of time: The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, bring to room temperature and whisk until smooth.
  • Serve the Brussels sprouts warm or at room temperature: The Brussels sprouts can be served immediately after cooking, or they can be cooled and served at room temperature. They are also delicious the next day, cold from the refrigerator.
