Michael Symons Shaved Brussels Sprouts With Pecorino Recipes

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PECORINO AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Trim bottoms of brussels sprouts and discard any discolored or loose outer leaves. Using a mandoline, the slicing attachment on a food processor or a very sharp knife, shave sprouts into the thinnest of slices.
• In a large bowl, combine shaved sprouts with the other ingredients, mixing roughly by hand so that the greens begin to wilt a little. Season to taste with salt and add a little more olive oil if necessary, either for your taste or because the sprouts were large.

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife or a mandolin, finely shred the Brussels sprouts. Put them in a large mixing bowl, add the grated carrot and toss to combine.
• Whisk together the lemon zest and juice, the yuzu juice, honey, mustard and some salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to emulsify. Toss the vegetables with the dressing and season with some salt and pepper. Toss again with the walnuts and Pecorino and serve.

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 degrees.
• While the oil is heating, whisk together the garlic, anchovies, serrano, red wine vinegar, honey, scallions, walnuts and extra-virgin olive oil in a bowl large enough to toss all of 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 30 seconds to 1 minute, remove the contents of the pot with a skimmer and place directly in the bowl of dressing. Toss to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
