Small thin-skinned oranges work best here. Look for organic, as you are going to want to eat the whole fruit. The combination of sweet orange, lightly smoky bacon, and caramelized brussels sprouts is absolutely addictive.

GINGER ORANGE BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Ginger Orange Brussels Sprouts image

This is a great way to liven up Brussels sprouts. The orange and ginger zing pair perfectly with the sprouts' floral flavors. I have a blood orange infused olive oil that I like to use with this recipe. It helps with the zing. Other dried fruits or nuts might be interesting experiments.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for sprouts that are firm and deep green in color. Avoid any sprouts that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end of each sprout and remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves.
  • Blanch the Brussels sprouts: This step helps to tenderize the sprouts and bring out their natural sweetness. To blanch the sprouts, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sprouts and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the sprouts to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Slice the oranges: Remove the peel and pith from the oranges. Cut the oranges into thin slices.
  • Cook the bacon: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until it is crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
  • Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the blanched Brussels sprouts, orange slices, cooked bacon, walnuts, and cranberries. Drizzle with the vinaigrette dressing and toss to coat.

Conclusion:

This Brussels sprouts salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy dressing complements the slightly bitter flavor of the Brussels sprouts, and the bacon and walnuts add a nice crunch. This salad is also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
