Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup jasmine rice
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely grated
1-inch piece fresh ginger, finely grated
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
Pinch crushed red pepper
4 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise (quartered if large)
One 3.5-ounce package shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps thickly sliced
8 ounces large shrimp (8 to 10), peeled and deveined, tails intact
1 scallion, thinly sliced
Toasted sesame oil, for serving
Sesame seeds, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the rice with 2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Set the sauce aside.
  • Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil to the hot skillet, then swirl to coat the bottom entirely. Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, until the sprouts have developed a golden-brown crust, about 2 minutes. Toss the sprouts, then continue to cook until they're bright green and crisp tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Add 1 more tablespoon of the vegetable oil to the skillet along with the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned in spots, about 2 minutes.
  • Create space for the shrimp in the middle of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Lay the shrimp flat in a single layer and cook until the shrimp have turned pink and a light crust begins to form, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute.
  • Pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, then toss until everything is evenly coated and the sauce has reduced slightly, about 1 minute.
  • Divide the rice and Brussels sprout mixture between 2 serving bowls. Top with the scallions, drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Yield Makes 3-4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound crimini mushrooms
1/2 pound white button mushrooms
1/2 pound oyster mushrooms
2 king oyster mushrooms
1 portobello mushroom
2 shallots, sliced paper thin
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Place your trusty cast-iron skillet in the middle of your oven and preheat to 500 degrees. This will take thirty minutes.
  • 2. Prepare the mushrooms. With a damp towel wipe off any dirt. If you must rinse them, do so gently and pat dry.
  • 3. Create various shroom shapes. Slice crimini and button mushrooms in half. Remove the bottom tuft of the king oyster mushrooms and discard, then slice lengthwise into four or five long pieces before cutting down the middle so you have short rectangles. Rip the oyster mushrooms into halves by hand. Slice the portobello into quarters or eighths as desired.
  • 4. Remove the pan and add all the mushrooms. Return it to the oven for five minutes. Then remove again, and stir the shrooms so that any sides unexposed to the hot iron can't help getting a good sear. Cook for an additional five minutes.
  • 5. Remove the pan and add the shallots, butter, and toss. Return to the oven for another five minutes.
  • 6. Final removal: add the garlic and parsley. Let sizzle in front of your drooling friends for three to five minutes. Salt generously, pepper profusely, and signal the attack.

SEARED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Seared Brussels Sprouts image

For delicious brussels sprouts, cook them in very hot oil. The cut side will sear, as will some of the leaves, resulting in a toasty, charred flavor that is irresistible, especially to children. Don't use an expensive olive oil for this dish. It should not have a strong flavor.

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 15m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound brussels sprouts
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Trim the ends off the brussels sprouts, and cut in half lengthwise through the stem end.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. When the skillet is just short of smoking, place the brussels sprouts cut side down in the oil. Turn the heat to medium, and sear on one side until nicely browned, about three minutes. Turn the brussels sprouts over and cook on the other side until nicely browned and tender, three to five minutes. Some of the leaves can be charred dark brown or black. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and serve.
