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.

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 WITH BACON AND ONIONS



Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Onions image

This is a simple yet delicious recipe that takes little time to put together. It's a tasty way to incorporate a healthy, and often snubbed, vegetable into one's diet. I've been cooking Brussels sprouts this way for years. I'm not sure where I got the recipe. Using fresh Brussels sprouts is preferred naturally, but if not readily available, frozen Brussels sprouts may be used instead. If using frozen Brussels sprouts, you may have to drain any excess liquid that is rendered while cooking the sprouts.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 pounds medium red onions (about 9)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/4 pounds Brussels sprouts
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425° F.
  • Trim onions, keeping root ends intact, and cut each lengthwise into 6 wedges, keeping wedges intact. In a large bowl toss onions with oil and salt and pepper to taste. In 2 shallow baking pans arrange onions in one layer and roast in upper and lower thirds of oven 20 minutes. Carefully turn onions over and switch position of pans. Roast onions 20 minutes more, or until just tender and some edges are golden brown.
  • Trim Brussels sprouts and have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook sprouts until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes, and drain in colander. Transfer sprouts to ice water to stop cooking and drain in colander. Vegetables may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled separately, covered.
  • In a small bowl stir together mustard and water. In a 12-inch heavy skillet cook onions and sprouts in butter over moderately high heat, stirring, until heated through and stir in mustard mixture and salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for sprouts that are firm and have tightly closed leaves.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end and any yellow or wilted leaves.
  • Slice the Brussels sprouts: Cut the sprouts in half or quarters, depending on their size.
  • Use a variety of sausages: This recipe calls for Italian sausage, but you can also use bratwurst, kielbasa, or chorizo.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Make sure the sausage is cooked all the way through before adding the Brussels sprouts.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the Brussels sprouts in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Sautéed Brussels sprouts are best served immediately.

Conclusion:

Sautéed Brussels sprouts with sausage and pickled red onion is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized, the sausage is savory and flavorful, and the pickled red onion adds a bright and tangy note. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
