Leaves Of Brussels Sprouts In Browned Butter Recipes

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BROWN BUTTER AND GRAIN MUSTARD

Steps:

• Remove the rough exterior leaves of the Brussels sprouts along with any of the stem and discard. Remove a few layers of the greenish leaves until the yellow starts to show, keep the green leaves separate from the centers. Quarter the centers. Blanch the centers in salted boiling water until just al dente, about 4-5 minutes, and then spread on a large surface pan to cool. Very briefly plunge the green leaves into the water, remove and spread out to cool.
• To finish the dish, use a fairly large non-reactive and not black-bottomed pan, place the butter in pan and put on a medium to medium-high heat. Cook the butter until golden brown and giving off a nutty aroma, add the grain mustard to the pan and toast slightly for just a moment. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for about two minutes or just until the sprouts are hot throughout, add the vinegar and taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper as necessary and finish with the parsley.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BROWN BUTTER AND SAGE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, add the sprouts to boiling salted water and cook until bright green and just tender, 6 to 8 minutes; drain and set aside.
• In a 12-inch skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until nutty brown in color, being careful not to burn it.
• Add the sage, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sprouts, salt, and pepper.
• Toss to coat in the butter and cook until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve warm.

BRUSSELS SPROUT LEAVES IN BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• With a sharp paring knife, trim the Brussels sprouts and cut out a deep V-shaped notch in the bottom of each one. Peel the leaves from each one, leaving the small core whole if it doesn't easily separate.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, swirling it while it slowly cooks and becomes fragrant and light brown, about 2 minutes. Add the leaves, season with salt, and toss to combine. Raise the heat to medium-high, cover the pan, and don't move it until the leaves wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. If none of the leaves have browned yet, uncover the pan, raise the heat to high, and cook, tossing, until the leaves are crisp-tender, have turned bright green, and many are lightly caramelized. Season again if necessary before serving.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BROWN BUTTER BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Toss the Brussels sprouts, oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper on the baking sheet until coated. Spread the sprouts, cut-side down, in a single layer and roast until tender and browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until it starts to brown. Add the garlic and cook until soft, about 30 seconds. Add the breadcrumbs, thyme, pepper flakes and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the crumbs are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest and parsley. Scatter over the Brussels sprouts. Garnish with thyme sprigs if using.
