Shaved Brussels Sprout And Shallot Sauté Recipes

SAUTEED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH SHALLOTS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring some salted water to a boil. Add the sprouts, and boil for 3 minutes. Reserve a cup of cooking water, then drain and run the sprouts under cold water. Cut into quarters through the root end.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally until they begin to turn a light golden brown. About 10 minutes.
• Move the sprouts to the outer edges of the pan, and add the shallot to the center of pan, along with 1 tablespoon of reserved cooking water. Cook until caramelized, then stir with the sprouts. Continue cooking until the sprouts are browned, about another 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

SAUTEED SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Place the Brussels sprouts in the feed tube of the food processor fitted with a large slicing disc. (There is no need to core them.) Process the Brussels sprouts until they're all sliced.
• Place the butter and olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and heat it over medium heat. Add the sliced Brussels sprouts, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and saute them, stirring frequently, for about 4 to 5 minutes, until tender but still bright green. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, season to taste, and serve hot.

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Fry bacon in a large deep skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels.
• Add the garlic and almonds to the fat in the skillet and cook briefly over medium heat until toasted. Add the Brussels sprouts and quickly toss to coat with the hot oil. Sprinkle the red wine vinegar over the sprouts and toss again to coat. Cook, stirring frequently, until sprouts are wilted. Remove from the heat, stir in the bacon and season to taste with salt and pepper.

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
• Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter to the same saute pan and cook over medium-high heat just until the butter melts. Add the shallots and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender and starting to brown.
• Meanwhile, place the Brussels sprouts in the feed tube of a food processor fitted with the large slicing disk. (You don't need to core them.) Process the sprouts in batches until they are all sliced, transferring them to a bowl. Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan with the shallots, add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally (I use tongs), until crisp-tender and bright green. Add the pancetta and cook for 1 more minute. Off the heat, stir in the balsamic vinegar, season to taste, and serve hot.

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Using a mandoline on the setting that cuts 1/8th-inch slices, hold the stem, slice all of the Brussels sprouts and discard the stems. Set shavings aside.
• Cut the bacon into pieces by slicing the whole 12-ounce slab of slices in half, then stack and slice.
• Heat a large sauté pan over medium high heat and once hot, spray* with pan spray. (*Pull pan off flame before spraying pan.)
• Add bacon and cook until just short of crisp, about 5-8 minutes.
• Use a spider or slotted spoon and remove the bacon to a bowl or plate.
• Pour off all but ¼ cup of the bacon fat.
• Add the shaved sprouts and sauté about ten minutes or until your desired doneness. We like them a little underdone so ours were cooked in eight minutes.
• Add the reserved bacon, salt and pepper and cook just to heat.
• Serve immediately.
