ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON, APPLES AND ONIONS, WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE



ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON, APPLES AND ONIONS, WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE image

Categories     Vegetable     Side

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb Brussels sprouts
6 slices bacon
1 T mustard seeds
1 medium onion, peeled, cut in crescents
1 tart crisp apple (I used a Granny Smith), peeled, cored, cut in crescents
3 T brown sugar
2 T balsamic vinegar
1/2 C dry white wine
1 T Dijon mustard
olive oil
salt, hot sauce to taste

Steps:

  • Trim the root ends of the sprouts, remove dried outer leaves and cut each sprout in half. Toss with a tablespoonful or so of olive oil and roast uncovered in a preheated 325º oven about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove when the sprouts are cooked through and starting to brown and char along the edges. Meanwhile, in a pan large enough to contain all the ingredients, sauté the bacon until just starting to crisp at the edges and remove to drain on paper towel. Pour all but 1 T of the bacon grease from the pan and discard. Add the mustard seeds to the pan and stir over medium high heat until they start to pop. Add the onions and apples, lower the heat to medium and sauté , stirring occasionally, until starting to turn soft, about 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in the sugar, wine and vinegar, raise the heat to medium high and cook, stirring, several minutes until the liquid is reduced to a syrup. Remove from heat and stir in the mustard. Chop the bacon and add it to the pan, then add the sprouts to the pan and stir and toss to combine. Correct seasoning. May be served immediately or at room temperature. Note: to make ahead, slightly undercook the sprouts so they will finish cooking when reheated.

HAM STEAK WITH APPLES AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS



HAM STEAK WITH APPLES AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS image

Categories     Sauté     Dinner     Ham

Yield 2 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ham steak, 7 ounces
Freshly ground pepper
1 Granny Smith apple
6 to 8 Brussels sprouts
1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 piece ginger (2 inches long), peeled, finely chopped
2 tablespoons mirin or sherry
2 teaspoons unseasoned rice vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. Pat dry the ham steak with a paper towel; season generously with freshly ground pepper on both sides. Cut the apple in half, core, and cut into 16 wedges. Thinly slice the wedges crosswise. Remove and discard the tough outer layer of leaves from the Brussels sprouts, cut them in halves, and cut out and discard the tough core. Thinly slice lengthwise. 2. Pour the oil into a large, cold cast-iron skillet; press the ham steak into the cold pan. Turn on the heat to medium. When the ham steak sizzles, after 1 to 2 minutes, scatter the shallot and ginger around it. Stir the shallot and ginger occasionally to keep them from burning, but leave the ham steak undisturbed, cooking until very lightly browned on one side, about 2 minutes. 3. Turn the ham steak over; add the apples and Brussels sprouts to the pan. Season lightly with salt. Stir to combine the apples and sprouts with the shallot and ginger, while leaving the pork undisturbed. Sprinkle the mirin and rice vinegar over the vegetables. Decrease the heat to medium low, cover the pan and cook until the sprouts have wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. 4. Transfer the ham to a serving plate; let it rest for a few minutes. Spoon the apple mixture on top.
