Brussel Sprouts With Streaky Rashers Recipes

SHERRY-GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pearl onions and cook until tender and the skins peel off easily, about 2 minutes; drain and rinse under cold water. Trim the root ends and pinch the opposite ends to remove the skins.
• Combine the brussels sprouts, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons butter, the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the brussels sprouts are bright green and crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Add the pearl onions and cook until the skillet is almost dry, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the sherry and thyme. Cook, tossing, until the vegetables are glazed, about 2 minutes; season with salt. Top with chives.

SMASHED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F with a sheet pan on the bottom rack.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and boil until tender throughout, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool under running water. Pat very dry with kitchen towels.
• Flatten each sprout with a meat mallet. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with 1/2 cup of the manchego, the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Spread on the preheated sheet pan and roast until crispy on the bottom, 13 to 15 minutes.
• Flip the sprouts and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup manchego. Roast until the tops are browned and crusty and the bottoms are deeply caramelized, 13 to 15 minutes more.

• Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan with a splash of water, then cover and finish cooking over a medium heat for about 5 mins, stirring now and again, until just tender.
• Uncover, turn up the heat, then add most of the 50g butter and sauté the sprouts for 2 mins more.
• Tip in the bacon and chestnuts, season generously with salt and pepper, then serve with the last knob of butter on top.
