Michael Symons Fried Brussels Sprouts With Walnuts And Capers Recipes

FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH WALNUTS AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into a medium pot so that the oil comes 3 inches up the sides. heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
• While the oil is heating, whisk together the garlic, anchovies, serrano chile, red wine vinegar, honey, scallions, walnuts, and extra-virgin olive oil in a bowl large enough to toss all the Brussels sprouts. Keep the bowl near the stovetop.
• Working in batches, deep-fry the Brussels sprouts until the edges begin to curl and brown, about 3 minutes. To the last batch, add the parsley and capers. (Stand back-the capers will pop and sputter!) Give the contents of the pot a stir. When the color of the parsley becomes a deeper, more saturated shade of green, about 1/2 to 1 minute, remove the contents of the pot with a skimmer and place directly into the bowl of dressing. Toss to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

BRUSSELS SPROUT AND KALE SALAD WITH GREEN GODDESS DRESSING

Steps:

• Set up your grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• To a food processor, add the torn bread and pulse until you have some very fine and some larger breadcrumbs. Transfer to a cast-iron pan. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Place on the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid and bake until golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes.
• To a blender, add the avocado, garlic, buttermilk, sour cream and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, then blend until smooth. Pour into a mixing bowl and mix in the dill and scallions. To a large mixing bowl, add the kale. Massage the kale until it darkens and softens. Add the Brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Dress with as much dressing as you'd like. Top with the croutons and cheese. Serve! Any remaining dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH WALNUTS

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and add the Brussels sprouts. Cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• In a large saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Add the sprouts in 1 layer and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and when melted, add the walnuts and cook, stirring, until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and sprouts, and stir well to coat and warm through.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Serve immediately.
