Categories     side-dish

Time 19m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Canola oil, for deep-frying
1 clove garlic, minced
4 salt-packed anchovy fillets, rinsed, filleted and minced
1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced on the bias
1/2 cup walnut pieces, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered lengthwise
2 cups loosely packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 tablespoons salt-packed capers, rinsed and patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS & APPLE SALAD



Brussels Sprouts & Apple Salad image

I made this recipe from the Healthy Heart Cookbook. This is really good and with just a few calories. Brussels sprouts are in prime form when the heads are hard and the leaves tighly bunched. If you can't find them fresh, thawed frozen sprouts work well in this tangy, crunchy salad.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 apple, halved, cored, and thinly sliced (I used a granny smith apple)
1/2 lb Brussels sprout, trimmed and quartered
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated

Steps:

  • Put the walnuts in a small, dry frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly toasted, 3-5 minutes. Immediately transfer to a plate to cool and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice. In a small bowl, toss the apple slices with the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice and stir into the yogurt mixture. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan fitted with a steamer basket, bring 1 inch of water to a boil. Add the brussels sprouts and steam until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Add the brussels sprouts to the bowl with the yogurt mixture and apples and toss gently to coat.
  • Divide the salad among individual plates and sprinkle with the lemon zest and toasted walnuts. Serve immediately.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD WITH APPLES AND WALNUTS



Brussels Sprouts Salad With Apples and Walnuts image

Raw brussels sprouts can stand up to the boldest and most assertive of flavors. Pair the shredded sprouts with a garlicky lemon dressing, plenty of aged Parmesan and crushed toasted walnuts. Toss in something crispy and sweet (apples and pears are ideal) and a bit of something fresh (mint and pomegranate) for a balanced bite.

Categories     vegetables

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup walnuts
1 pound brussels sprouts, ends trimmed
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more, if desired
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan or pecorino, plus more for shaving (about 2 ounces)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 fennel bulb, quartered, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise
1 tart apple, such as Pink Lady, quartered, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (optional)
1 cup mint leaves, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup parsley, tender leaves and stems, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Toast walnuts in a skillet over low heat, shaking pan frequently, until evenly toasted and fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer nuts to a cutting board and chop.
  • Remove all outer leaves from the brussels sprouts (reserve cores for roasting or pickling) and place in a large bowl with garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Massage leaves until they are all evenly coated. Let sit about 5 minutes. (This will help them soften.)
  • Add walnuts, fennel, apple and pomegranate seeds (if using) to brussels sprouts and toss to coat. Add mint, parsley and olive oil and season with salt, pepper and more lemon juice, if desired. Garnish with shavings of Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and firm Brussels sprouts: Look for Brussels sprouts that are bright green and tightly packed. Avoid any that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end of each Brussels sprout and then slice it in half. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Roast the Brussels sprouts: Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then, spread them out on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Slice the apples: Use a sharp knife to slice the apples into thin wedges.
  • Cook the brown rice: Follow the package directions to cook the brown rice.
  • Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the roasted Brussels sprouts, apples, brown rice, dried cranberries, walnuts, and parsley. Then, drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
