• Combine Brussels sprouts, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and melted duck fat in a large bowl until Brussels sprouts are evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

PAN-ROASTED DUCK WITH CARAMELIZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS, POMEGRANATE AND RED-EYE GRAVY

Steps:

• For the red-eye gravy: Combine the coffee, cane syrup, ham, vinegar and port in a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until reduced by half, then whisk in the butter. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and set aside.
• For the duck breast: Heat a medium skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the breasts all over with salt and pepper. Place the breasts, skin-side down, in the skillet and cook until the fat begins to render and the skin is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour off the fat (reserve 2 tablespoons for the dressing). Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, removing the fat as it renders, until the skin is tight and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, flip the breasts and cook until the meat is lightly browned but still medium-rare, 1 to 2 minutes more. Thinly slice the breast.
• For the duck dressing: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the 2 tablespoons reserved duck fat. Place the sprouts cut-side down in the skillet and cook until charred on the edges. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, 3 to 4 minutes. Fold in the pomegranate seeds and season with salt, pepper and lemon zest. Serve the duck with the dressing and gravy.

DUCK FAT ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CRANBERRIES AND ALMONDS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450F. Peel off the outer most leaves of each Brussels sprout. Roll the leaves like a cigar, and cut into long strips. Slowly melt duck fat in a small saucepan. Cut off and discard the bottom of each sprout, and cut them in half. Arrange single file on a roasting sheet. Drizzle duck fat over sprouts, gently covering each one. Sprinkle on salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, or until they brown. Shake the pan around once while roasting. Heat up a small cast iron skillet and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the crushed nuts and cook for about two minutes, until fragrant. Add the chiffonaded Brussels sprout leaves, stir, and continue cooking for two more minutes. The leaves should still be bright green and not quite wilted. Throw in dried cranberries and cook for one more minute. Dish the nuts and cranberries until a bowl, spoon Brussels sprouts on top, and sprinkle on a tad more salt. To serve as a main course, serve over brown or wild rice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut off the ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves.
• Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Transfer them to a sheet pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp outside and tender inside.
• Shake the pan from time to time to brown the Brussels sprouts evenly.
• Sprinkle with more kosher salt (I like these salty like French fries) and serve hot.

PAN-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Prepare an ice bath. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil; add brussels sprouts, and cook for 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer brussels sprouts to ice bath and let cool.
• Drain brussels sprouts, discarding ice bath. On work surface, halve brussels sprouts. In a large, shallow saucepan, heat duck fat until it just begins to smoke; add brussels sprouts cut-side down. Pan-roast until golden brown, and toss while hot with garlic and thyme. Remove thyme; season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
