BRUSSELS SPROUTS BRAISED WITH VINEGAR
Steps:
- Trim the core even with the base of the sprouts. Remove the outer, discolored leaves and cut each sprout in half. Wash them thoroughly and drain well.
- Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a 3-quart braising pot or wide, deep skillet. Whack the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and toss them into the oil. Cook, shaking the pan, until golden, about 2 minutes. Stir the sprouts into the oil, season them lightly with salt, and stir until they turn bright green, about 3 minutes. Pour in 1 cup of the water and the vinegar and bring to a boil. Lower the heat so the liquid is simmering. Cook, uncovered, until the sprouts are tender and almost falling apart and the liquid is almost completely evaporated, 20 to 25 minutes. If the liquid is evaporated before the sprouts are tender, add more water, about 1/4 cup at a time, as necessary. Taste and season with pepper and, if necessary, salt.
- Spoon the sprouts into a warm serving bowl, drizzle a little olive oil over them, and serve.
- Variation: Savoy or White Cabbage Braised with Vinegar
- Substitute one small (about 2-pound) head of Savoy or white cabbage for the Brussels sprouts. Peel off any discolored or wilted outer leaves and cut the head in quarters through the core. Remove the core and cut the cabbage into 1-inch-wide strips.

BRAISED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND ROASTED CHESTNUTS
The comments at Christmas dinner made the prep time worth the effort and any extra chestnuts found their way into my turkey stuffing. Shocking and chilling the sprouts in the ice water allows them to retain their lovely bright green color. Adapted from the LA Times.

Tips for Making Braised Brussels Sprouts with Vinegar and Dill:
- Choose firm and fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for sprouts that are bright green in color and have tightly closed leaves.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts: Remove any yellow or wilted leaves and cut off the stem end.
- Braising liquid: Use a combination of vinegar, water, and sugar to create a flavorful braising liquid. You can also add herbs and spices, such as bay leaves, thyme, or peppercorns, for extra flavor.
- Cook the Brussels sprouts until tender: Simmer the sprouts in the braising liquid for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Add the vinegar and dill: Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, stir in the vinegar and dill. You can also add a knob of butter or a drizzle of olive oil for extra richness.
- Serve immediately: Braised Brussels sprouts are best served hot. You can garnish them with additional dill or parsley.
