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.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH MUSHROOMS AND GINGER



Brussels Sprouts with Mushrooms and Ginger image

Using a wok for this recipe gives you the charred flavor you would get from roasting or grilling and the tenderness you would get from braising but in half of the time. Using a skillet works, too, but you'll end up with less char. Add some chopped water chestnuts if you have them on hand for a little crunch.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound Brussels sprouts, stem ends trimmed, quartered
1 tablespoon peeled and grated fresh ginger
1 cup chicken broth (not low sodium)

Steps:

  • Cut the shiitake caps into bite-size pieces (quartered or halved, depending on the size).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil over high heat in a wok or large skillet. When almost smoking, add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook until browned and slightly crispy, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Resist the urge to move them too much unless they are burning. Remove to a plate. Lower the heat to medium-high and add the remaining tablespoon oil and the Brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper and cook until browned or charred on one side, about 3 minutes. Stir in the ginger and cook until aromatic and slightly browned, stirring constantly, about 15 seconds. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chicken broth (the sprouts should be just submerged in the liquid) and cook at a rapid simmer until the sprouts are tender when pierced with a knife and the liquid has boiled away, 6 to 8 minutes more.
  • Return the mushrooms to the wok, fold to combine and season. Serve on a platter.

A recent recipe request looking for dishes for 1 or 2 reminded me of an old cookbook dedicated to that topic. Though I have not made this in a while, it was one of my favorite sides. Posting it here so it doesn't get lost and to share it with others. The flavors in this side work quite nicely with a simple roasted or grilled meat or fish.

ANTON MOSIMANN'S BRAISED BRUSSELS SPROUTS IN CREAM



Anton Mosimann's Braised Brussels Sprouts In Cream image

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     dinner, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 - 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
Freshly grated nutmeg to taste
Salt and freshly ground white pepper, if desired

Steps:

  • Put the cream in a heavy pan over medium-low heat. Bring to a boil and cook at a slow but steady boil until the cream is reduced by one-third and is thick and yellow.
  • Meanwhile, rinse and trim the brussels sprouts. Cut each in quarters and grate or process in a food processor until the sprouts are the consistency of homemade cole slaw. In the food processor, this is best done in two batches, using the on-off pulse mechanism.
  • When the cream is reduced, add the ginger and garlic and mix well. Grate eight or 10 scrapings of nutmeg into the cream, or more if you wish. Add the shredded sprouts and turn in the cream to coat the sprouts well. Return to medium heat and braise, uncovered, stirring and turning frequently, for five to six minutes. The sprouts should be al dente, that is, cooked through but with a crisp bite to them. Check for seasoning, adding salt and freshly ground white pepper if necessary. Serve immediately.
