Categories     Side Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
1 to 2 tablespoons raw pine nuts (or chopped raw walnuts, almonds, or pecans (optional))
Chopped fresh herbs like parsley (cilantro or mint (optional))
A handful of Parmesan (feta, or goat cheese (optional))

Steps:

  • Heat a large cast iron or similar sturdy bottomed skillet over medium high for 4 minutes. Add the oil. As soon as the oil is hot and shining (but before it starts smoking), swirl to cost the pan, then add the halved Brussels sprouts. Shake the skillet a little and prod them so that as many as possible are cut-side down. Let sit completely undisturbed for 5 to 8 minutes, until they develop a dark, tasty, caramelized sear.
  • Add the salt and pepper. With a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the Brussels sprouts. Continue cooking, stirring every few minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are browned all over and just turning tender the inside, about 6 to 8 additional minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vinegar, then the pine nuts or almonds. Let the residual heat of the skillet toast the nuts, stirring them very often so that they toast evenly on all sides and do not burn (if they aren't toasting, return the skillet to low heat). As soon as the nuts are toasted, transfer the sprouts to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Enjoy hot.

SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Sautéed Brussels Sprouts image

This is sort of a no-recipe recipe for brussels sprouts that will have you wanting to make them every day of the week. Once you memorize the proportions, you can vary the fat and seasonings any which way you like. One important tip: Having a large enough skillet is key, so the sprouts have a chance to brown on one side before steaming and turning to mush.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, vegetables, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
3 to 4 tablespoons fat (olive oil, schmaltz, duck fat or the fat rendered from 8 ounces of bacon, sausage or chorizo)
A handful of aromatics, like chopped garlic, sliced onion, thyme sprigs or dried chiles
Lemon juice, vinegar, pickled onions or shallots
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro or mint (optional)

Steps:

  • If using something like bacon or sausage, start by browning the meat in a large skillet (10 to 12 inches) over medium-high heat to render the fat. Once the meat is cooked, remove it with a slotted spoon, leaving behind the drippings. (You can add the crispy meat bits back later.)
  • Add halved brussels sprouts to the fat, shaking the skillet so that as many as possible land cut side down. Now, don't touch! Disturbing the skillet at this point would prevent the sprouts from caramelizing. Cook until they have a nice sear on one side, 5 to 8 minutes. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, give them a stir and continue to cook until they're nicely browned all over and just tender on the inside, another 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Just before removing from the heat, add in a handful of aromatics, like chopped garlic, sliced onion, thyme sprigs or dried chiles, tossing to coat and cooking only a minute or two. Stir in the reserved bacon or sausage bits, if using.
  • Finish with either a squeeze of halved lemon, a splash of nice vinegar or a handful of pickled onions or shallots. Because of the sprouts' meaty flavor profile, it's also nice to hit them with a smattering of fresh herbs, especially parsley, cilantro or mint. Salt and pepper to taste.

SAUTEED BRUSSELS SPROUTS LEAVES



Sauteed Brussels Sprouts Leaves image

I love this different method of cooking brussels sprouts. Most of the work is in peeling the leaves, after that it just takes minutes to cook them. I found this recipe in Sunset Magazine.

Provided by Hey Jude

Categories     Greens

Time 25m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 lb Brussels sprout
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup chopped shallot
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse and drain sprouts and cut about 1/4 inch off the stem end of each, then begin peeling leaves; when difficult to peel farther, trim off another 1/4 inch and continue removing leaves.
  • Repeat to peel all leaves from sprouts; discard cores.
  • Place a 10-12 inch frying pan over medium-high heat; when hot, add olive oil, shallots, sprout leaves, parsley and fresh or dried thyme.
  • Stir until sprout leaves are bright green and slightly wilted but still crunchy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right Brussels sprouts: Look for small to medium-sized Brussels sprouts with tightly packed, bright green leaves.
  • Trim and clean the Brussels sprouts: Remove the tough outer leaves and trim the stem end. Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly under cold water.
  • Slice the Brussels sprouts thinly: Use a sharp knife to slice the Brussels sprouts into thin, even slices. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Choose the right cooking oil: Use a high-heat cooking oil, such as grapeseed or canola oil. This will help prevent the Brussels sprouts from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the Brussels sprouts over high heat: This will help them caramelize and develop a slightly crispy texture.
  • Season the Brussels sprouts: Season the Brussels sprouts with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the Brussels sprouts until tender: Cook the Brussels sprouts for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crunchy.
  • Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately: Brussels sprouts are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Sautéed Brussels sprouts leaves are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
