Sauteed Shredded Brussels Sprouts Recipes

SAUTéED SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH LEFTOVER HAM

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat add butter or oil, diced onion, and crushed garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until onions begin to soften.
• Add cubed ham and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the ham begins to brown.
• In a small bowl whisk together brown sugar, mustard, chili garlic sauce, and pepper. Add sauce and Brussels sprouts to skillet and stir to combine.
• Sauté sprouts for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
• If your Brussels sprouts are sticking to the bottom of the skillet too much, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to help loosen up the bits.
• Add salt to taste and serve with additional crushed black pepper. Enjoy!

SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat a large cast iron or similar sturdy bottomed skillet over medium high for 4 minutes. Add the oil. As soon as the oil is hot and shining (but before it starts smoking), swirl to cost the pan, then add the halved Brussels sprouts. Shake the skillet a little and prod them so that as many as possible are cut-side down. Let sit completely undisturbed for 5 to 8 minutes, until they develop a dark, tasty, caramelized sear.
• Add the salt and pepper. With a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the Brussels sprouts. Continue cooking, stirring every few minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are browned all over and just turning tender the inside, about 6 to 8 additional minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vinegar, then the pine nuts or almonds. Let the residual heat of the skillet toast the nuts, stirring them very often so that they toast evenly on all sides and do not burn (if they aren't toasting, return the skillet to low heat). As soon as the nuts are toasted, transfer the sprouts to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Enjoy hot.

SAUTEED SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Place the Brussels sprouts in the feed tube of the food processor fitted with a large slicing disk. (You don't need to core them.) Process until they're all sliced.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a very large (12- to 14-inch) sauté pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and saute, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until crisp-tender and still bright green. Off the heat, stir in the balsamic vinegar, season to taste and serve hot.
• Make ahead: Prep the Brussels sprouts and place in a plastic bag with a damp paper towel for up to a day. Saute before serving.

SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• If using something like bacon or sausage, start by browning the meat in a large skillet (10 to 12 inches) over medium-high heat to render the fat. Once the meat is cooked, remove it with a slotted spoon, leaving behind the drippings. (You can add the crispy meat bits back later.)
• Add halved brussels sprouts to the fat, shaking the skillet so that as many as possible land cut side down. Now, don't touch! Disturbing the skillet at this point would prevent the sprouts from caramelizing. Cook until they have a nice sear on one side, 5 to 8 minutes. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, give them a stir and continue to cook until they're nicely browned all over and just tender on the inside, another 5 to 8 minutes.
• Just before removing from the heat, add in a handful of aromatics, like chopped garlic, sliced onion, thyme sprigs or dried chiles, tossing to coat and cooking only a minute or two. Stir in the reserved bacon or sausage bits, if using.
• Finish with either a squeeze of halved lemon, a splash of nice vinegar or a handful of pickled onions or shallots. Because of the sprouts' meaty flavor profile, it's also nice to hit them with a smattering of fresh herbs, especially parsley, cilantro or mint. Salt and pepper to taste.

• In the same skillet, melt butter in with reserved bacon grease over medium heat. Add pine nuts, and cook, stirring until browned. Add Brussels sprouts and green onions to the pan, and season with seasoning salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until sprouts are wilted and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in crumbled bacon just before serving.
