BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BROWN BUTTER AND GRAIN MUSTARD

Steps:
- Remove the rough exterior leaves of the Brussels sprouts along with any of the stem and discard. Remove a few layers of the greenish leaves until the yellow starts to show, keep the green leaves separate from the centers. Quarter the centers. Blanch the centers in salted boiling water until just al dente, about 4-5 minutes, and then spread on a large surface pan to cool. Very briefly plunge the green leaves into the water, remove and spread out to cool.
- To finish the dish, use a fairly large non-reactive and not black-bottomed pan, place the butter in pan and put on a medium to medium-high heat. Cook the butter until golden brown and giving off a nutty aroma, add the grain mustard to the pan and toast slightly for just a moment. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for about two minutes or just until the sprouts are hot throughout, add the vinegar and taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper as necessary and finish with the parsley.

CRISP GNOCCHI WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND BROWN BUTTER
For a fantastic meal that can be ready in 20 minutes, toss together seared gnocchi and sautéed brussels sprouts with lemon zest, red-pepper flakes and brown butter. The key to this recipe is how you cook the store-bought gnocchi: No need to boil. Just sear them until they are crisp and golden on the outside, and their insides will stay chewy. The resulting texture is reminiscent of fried dough. Shelf-stable and refrigerated gnocchi will both work here, but the shelf-stable ones do crisp up a bit better.

Steps:
- Trim and halve the brussels sprouts. Using a vegetable peeler, peel thick strips of lemon zest, then coarsely chop. (You should have about 2 teaspoons chopped zest.)
- In a large (preferably 12-inch) skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the brussels sprouts, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then arrange the brussels sprouts in an even layer, cut-side down. Scatter the lemon zest over the top and cook, undisturbed, until the brussels sprouts are well browned underneath, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the red-pepper flakes, stir and cook until the brussels sprouts are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high. Break up any gnocchi that are stuck together, add them to the pan and cook, covered and undisturbed, until golden brown on one side, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the butter and honey, season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper, and cook, stirring, until the butter is golden, nutty smelling and foaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the brussels sprouts until warmed through. Serve with grated Parmesan.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm Brussels sprouts: Look for sprouts that are bright green in color and have tightly closed leaves. Avoid any sprouts that are yellow or have brown spots.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts: Use a sharp knife to trim off the stem end of each Brussels sprout. You can also remove any outer leaves that are wilted or damaged.
- Parboil the Brussels sprouts: This will help to tenderize the sprouts and reduce their bitterness. To parboil the sprouts, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Drain the sprouts and set aside.
- Make the brown butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Cook the butter until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside.
- Sauté the Brussels sprouts: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until they are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season the sprouts with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the brown butter and sage: Stir the brown butter and sage into the Brussels sprouts. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sprouts are heated through.
- Serve immediately: Brussels sprouts with brown butter and sage are best served immediately. They can be served as a side dish or main course.
Conclusion:
Brussels sprouts with brown butter and sage is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. The parboiling process helps to tenderize the sprouts and reduce their bitterness, while the brown butter and sage add a rich and nutty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
