Shaved Brussels Sprouts With Pecorino and Walnuts image

Those who have eaten at Buvette, the West Village restaurant from which the recipe for this dish is adapted, will understand that if the home-cooked version tastes even 1/8th as good as the original, then you could pair it with a roast chicken and dinner will be awesome, beyond compare. And it does! Shave the sprouts with a mandoline or a food processor or a sharp, sharp knife. Then combine with raw walnut halves, pecorino crumbled off the cheese with a fork, olive oil, and salt. Mix aggressively, so that the sprouts begin to wilt a little. And that's it. You'll see.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 brussels sprouts
1/2 cup raw walnut halves
1/4 cup fork-crumbled pecorino Romano
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
Kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Trim bottoms of brussels sprouts and discard any discolored or loose outer leaves. Using a mandoline, the slicing attachment on a food processor or a very sharp knife, shave sprouts into the thinnest of slices.
  • In a large bowl, combine shaved sprouts with the other ingredients, mixing roughly by hand so that the greens begin to wilt a little. Season to taste with salt and add a little more olive oil if necessary, either for your taste or because the sprouts were large.

This salad is the perfect balance of flavors and textures. The shaved Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly crunchy, the pecorino is salty and nutty, and the walnuts add a nice crunch.

I'm not usually a fan of Brussels sprouts, but this recipe changed my mind. The shaving really makes a difference. I'll definitely be making this again.

I was looking for a new way to prepare Brussels sprouts, and this recipe definitely delivered. The shaved sprouts are so much more tender and flavorful than when they're roasted or steamed. Highly recommend!
