Savory Thai Noodles With Seared Brussels Sprouts image

Isa Chandra Moskowitz runs a vegan restaurant in Omaha, Neb., so she knows how to make plant-based food that meat-eaters will also like. This one-pot noodle dish, loosely based on pad Thai, has lively textures (like shredded brussels sprouts and chewy rice noodles) and super-satisfying flavors.

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/3 cup tamari sauce
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons white miso
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons tamarind concentrate
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
8 ounces Thai rice noodles
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 bunch (6 to 8) scallions, trimmed
Kosher salt
8 ounces trimmed brussels sprouts, shredded or quartered
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups loosely packed cilantro leaves and thin stems
4 ounces mung bean sprouts (optional)
1/2 cup salted roasted peanuts, lightly cracked in a mortar or coarsely chopped
1 red chile, such as Fresno, thinly sliced (optional)
4 lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: In a blender or bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix until smooth. It should be thick but pourable like barbecue sauce; add water as needed to thin it out.
  • Cook noodles for stir-frying according to the package directions; they should be slightly underdone. After draining, rinse well with cold water to stop the cooking. Toss noodles in 1 teaspoon coconut oil to prevent sticking.
  • Cut scallions: Thinly slice the white parts, and cut the pale and dark green parts into 1-inch lengths.
  • Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over high. Add 2 tablespoons coconut oil and sprinkle in salt. Add brussels sprouts and sear, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan over high heat, heat remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Add scallions and cook, stirring often, just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add garlic, stir, then pour in about half the sauce and stir until bubbling.
  • Add noodles and cook, tossing in the sauce until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining sauce, cooked brussels sprouts, cilantro and bean sprouts, if using; toss to coat and heat through.
  • Divide among plates. Garnish with peanuts, chile and lime wedges (if using) and serve immediately.

SAVORY BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE



Savory Brussels Sprouts With Smoked Sausage image

I admit I hated them as a kid too. I was at deer camp a few years ago and one of my uncles brought a bunch he had from the farmers market. Knowing my culinary aptitude, he tossed the bag at me and said "see what you can do with these" This being a hunting camp, the pressure was on. I couldn't make some fancy dish, so I tried to keep it simple and came up with this. You can use any smoked sausage you like, I prefer a Portuguese linguisa, but you can use kielbasa, bacon or ham as well. You can omit the crushed red pepper if you don't like a bit of heat. Can be served as a side dish or a main course. This is the only way to eat brussel sprouts IMO.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

5 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as grapeseed, divided
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 garlic cloves, finely grated, divided
2 teaspoons finely grated ginger
1 1/2 tablespoon hot chile paste, such as sambal oelek
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 pork tenderloins (each about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/2 to 1 red Thai chile pepper, very thinly sliced

1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon roughly chopped mint
Special Equipment
Large oven-safe skillet

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons oil, vinegar, soy sauce, 2 grated garlic cloves, ginger, chile paste, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place pork in a large resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over, tossing to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 1 grated garlic clove, fish sauce, lime, honey, chile pepper, peanuts, and 1 tablespoon water. Set aside.
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, toss Brussels sprouts with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Roast 15 minutes, then toss. Continue to roast until browned and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette. Taste and add more vinaigrette, if desired.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet with 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade (reserve marinade) and sear on 3 sides until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Turn tenderloins onto their fourth side and add broth to pan. Transfer skillet to oven and roast pork, basting occasionally, until internal temperature reaches 140°F for medium rare or 145°F for medium, 10 to 13 minutes more (temperature will rise by about 10 degrees after cooking). Transfer pork to cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, and reserve skillet.
  • Add reserved marinade to the skillet and reduce over medium heat, stirring and scraping up the browned bits, until thickened to a pan sauce that coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in butter. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • To serve, slice pork and drizzle with pan sauce. Spoon Brussels sprouts onto plate, sprinkle with mint, and serve additional pan sauce on side.

GRILLED SAVORY BRUSSELS SPROUTS



GRILLED SAVORY BRUSSELS SPROUTS image

Categories     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 5

20 Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and outer leaves removed
3 tablespoons salted butter
1⁄2 teaspoon seasoning salt
2 teaspoons bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 pinches garlic powder

Steps:

  • Cut brussels sprouts in half. Place sprouts in the middle of a large piece of aluminum foil (to make a packet for grilling). I usually put 10 sprouts in each packet. Dot butter over the sprouts, then sprinkle with the seasoning salt, bacon and garlic powder. Drizzle small amount of olive oil over the top and close up the foil packet (making sure you pull up all of the sides so that the butter does not leak out during cooking). Grill packets for 10 minutes over medium-high heat. After cooking is complete, place the veggies in a bowl and mix them up so that the butter/flavorings coat all the tasty brussels sprouts.

Tips:

  • Choose the right Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, dark green Brussels sprouts with tightly closed leaves.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end and any damaged or discolored leaves.
  • Cook the Brussels sprouts properly: Brussels sprouts can be roasted, sautéed, grilled, or steamed. The cooking method you choose will depend on your personal preference and the other ingredients in your dish.
  • Season the Brussels sprouts well: Brussels sprouts have a slightly bitter flavor, so it's important to season them well. You can use salt, pepper, garlic, onion, bacon, or any other seasonings you like.
  • Don't overcook the Brussels sprouts: Brussels sprouts should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked Brussels sprouts will be mushy and bland.

Conclusion:

Brussels sprouts are a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. By following the tips in this article, you can cook Brussels sprouts that are delicious and healthy.
