CREAM-BRAISED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Cream-Braised Brussels Sprouts image

Brussels sprouts tend to turn people off. This way of cooking them brings out their nutty flavor and has made the most passionate haters at my last Thanksgiving say, at the very least, that this is the best brussels sprouts have tasted. The first time I made this, it ended up being dinner - not a side dish!

Provided by Pugged

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Brussels Sprouts

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

¼ cup butter
1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
¼ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are browned in spots, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the cream, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the sprouts are tender and easily pierced with a fork, 30 to 35 minutes. The cream will have reduced in volume, and will have taken on a creamy beige color. Remove the lid, and stir in the lemon juice. Allow the sprouts to simmer a few minutes more until the cream thickens and coats the sprouts. Season to taste with additional salt and lemon juice before serving.

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.

  • Use High-Quality Olive Oil: Opt for extra-virgin olive oil for its superior flavor and health benefits. It will add a subtle fruity note to the dish.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the sprouts liberally with salt and pepper. This will enhance their natural flavor and make them more savory.
  • Add Aromatics for Depth: Incorporate aromatic ingredients like garlic, shallots, or onions to create a flavorful base for the sprouts.
  • Use a Variety of Cooking Methods: You can boil, roast, sauté, or braise Brussels sprouts, depending on your desired texture and flavor. Each method offers unique results.
  • Balance Sweetness and Acidity: If you find the sprouts too bitter, consider adding a touch of sweetness with ingredients like honey, maple syrup, or balsamic vinegar. A squeeze of lemon juice can also brighten up the dish.
  • Garnish for Presentation: Before serving, sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or chives over the sprouts for a pop of color and extra flavor.
