While we absolutely love a roasted Brussels sprout, shaved Brussels sprouts add much-appreciated versatility to the mix. The fact that you can now buy them pre-shaved at your supermarket is a huge time saver, turning this into a 30-minute side perfect for any holiday table. We tossed the sprouts with melty cheeses and baked them until rich and bubbly for a vegetable dish even the pickiest kids will come back for.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large shallot, chopped
2 pounds shredded Brussels sprouts
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 3/4 ounces)
1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons salad dressing spread
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large high-sided saute pan or wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add half of the Brussels sprouts, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring often, until the sprouts are softened and wilted, about 1 minute. Add the remaining sprouts and continue to cook until tender and bright green, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the Monterey Jack, cream, Parmesan and 1/3 cup of the salad dressing spread until combined. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Stir the remaining 3 tablespoons salad dressing spread with the panko, parsley and remaining 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the top of the casserole. Bake until the breadcrumbs are well browned and toasted and the sauce is bubbling all over, 30 to 35 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

Categories     side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts
1 quart boiling water
2 tablespoons glace de viande
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup light cream

Steps:

  • Trim the brussels sprouts of any loose or yellowing leaves and cut a cross in the stem end of each one. Add them to the quart of boiling water and cook for exactly 7 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking.
  • While sprouts are cooking, bring cream to a boil in a separate saucepan and reduce by boiling to 1/2 cup.
  • Place the sprouts in a saute pan with the glace de viande and flavorings. Add the reduced cream and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, tossing the sprouts in the cream to coat well. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for Brussels sprouts that are firm and brightly colored, with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any sprouts that are wilted, yellowed, or have open leaves.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end of each Brussels sprout and remove any yellow or wilted leaves.
  • Blanch the Brussels sprouts (optional): Blanching the Brussels sprouts before cooking helps to preserve their color and crunch. To blanch the Brussels sprouts, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the Brussels sprouts and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Cook the Brussels sprouts: There are many different ways to cook Brussels sprouts, including roasting, sautéing, grilling, and steaming. Choose a cooking method that you like and that will result in the desired texture. For example, roasting Brussels sprouts will give them a caramelized exterior and tender interior, while sautéing them will give them a slightly crispy exterior and tender interior.
  • Season the Brussels sprouts: Brussels sprouts can be seasoned with a variety of herbs, spices, and sauces. Some popular seasonings for Brussels sprouts include salt, pepper, garlic, onion, bacon, and cheese.
  • Serve the Brussels sprouts: Brussels sprouts can be served as a side dish or main course. They can also be added to salads, soups, and stews.

Conclusion:

Brussels sprouts are a delicious and nutritious vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and they have a slightly bitter flavor that pairs well with a variety of other flavors. Whether you are roasting, sautéing, grilling, or steaming them, Brussels sprouts are a healthy and flavorful addition to any meal.
