Deborah Madison S Brussels Sprouts And Mushroom Ragout Recipes

DEBORAH MADISON'S BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND MUSHROOM RAGOUT

Steps:

• Add olive oil to a wide skillet and saute onions: add juice of one lemon ; add mushroom pieces to the skillet and brown.
• Boil Brussels sprouts for 4 to 6 minutes, until almost tender; then drain and add them to the skillet and pour in the stock.
• Turn off the heat and let the veggies stand while making the dumplings.
• For the dumplings, mix the flour with the baking powder and salt, pour in the milk, oil, herbs and beaten egg and stir together quickly with a fork.
• Add dumpling batter by spoonfuls to the ragout, making 12 small dumplings in all.
• Discard excess dumpling batter.
• Cover the pan with a tented foil, and bring everything to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
• Serve in soup plates with 3 dumplings per bowl.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH MUSHROOMS AND GINGER

Steps:

• Cut the shiitake caps into bite-size pieces (quartered or halved, depending on the size).
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil over high heat in a wok or large skillet. When almost smoking, add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook until browned and slightly crispy, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Resist the urge to move them too much unless they are burning. Remove to a plate. Lower the heat to medium-high and add the remaining tablespoon oil and the Brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper and cook until browned or charred on one side, about 3 minutes. Stir in the ginger and cook until aromatic and slightly browned, stirring constantly, about 15 seconds. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chicken broth (the sprouts should be just submerged in the liquid) and cook at a rapid simmer until the sprouts are tender when pierced with a knife and the liquid has boiled away, 6 to 8 minutes more.
• Return the mushrooms to the wok, fold to combine and season. Serve on a platter.

PAN-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND MUSHROOMS WITH THYME

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts and cook for 4 minutes. Stir and cook for 4 minutes more. Increase heat to high and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes more.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH MUSHROOMS
