SAUTEED SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Steps:
- Place the Brussels sprouts in the feed tube of the food processor fitted with a large slicing disk. (You don't need to core them.) Process until they're all sliced.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a very large (12- to 14-inch) sauté pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and saute, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until crisp-tender and still bright green. Off the heat, stir in the balsamic vinegar, season to taste and serve hot.
- Make ahead: Prep the Brussels sprouts and place in a plastic bag with a damp paper towel for up to a day. Saute before serving.
SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA
Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter to the same saute pan and cook over medium-high heat just until the butter melts. Add the shallots and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender and starting to brown.
- Meanwhile, place the Brussels sprouts in the feed tube of a food processor fitted with the large slicing disk. (You don't need to core them.) Process the sprouts in batches until they are all sliced, transferring them to a bowl. Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan with the shallots, add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally (I use tongs), until crisp-tender and bright green. Add the pancetta and cook for 1 more minute. Off the heat, stir in the balsamic vinegar, season to taste, and serve hot.

Tips:
- Select firm and compact Brussels sprouts: Fresh Brussels sprouts should have tightly closed leaves and a bright green color. Avoid any sprouts that are yellowed, wilted, or have brown spots.
- Shred the Brussels sprouts thinly: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients better. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the sprouts.
- Use a combination of cooking methods: Blanching the Brussels sprouts in boiling water helps to brighten their color and remove any bitterness. Then, sautéing them in butter with garlic, shallots, and prosciutto adds a rich flavor and caramelizes the edges of the sprouts.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the Brussels sprouts, make sure to work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Season to taste: Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the Brussels sprouts with fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, or chives. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
Conclusion:
Shredded Brussels sprouts with pine nuts and prosciutto is a delicious and elegant side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in under 30 minutes. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
