2 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed
4 ounces slab bacon or pancetta (Italian bacon), coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for serving
1 cup coarse fresh breadcrumbs
1 small Fresno chile, seeds removed, finely chopped
1 tablespoon thyme leaves

Kosher salt

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup (170 grams) panko breadcrumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Zest of 1/2 lemon
Neutral oil, for frying
1 pound medium Brussels sprouts, halved, patted VERY dry
Kosher salt

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper
Harissa, for drizzling
2 ounces (56 grams) feta, crumbled
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • To make the breadcrumbs: Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. When the oil is hot, add the panko. Cook and stir until crisp and light golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Season with kosher salt and pepper and stir in the lemon zest. Set aside.
  • For the Brussels sprouts: Pour about 2 inches of neutral oil in a large Dutch oven and heat to 370 degrees F. Fry half of the sprouts (be careful, they might splatter when you add them), turning occasionally, until very crisp and browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack over a sheet pan. Season with kosher salt. Let the oil come back to temperature and fry the second batch. Season the remaining sprouts with kosher salt.
  • To assemble: Spread the yogurt as a base on a platter and mound the fried Brussels sprouts on top. Drizzle around the perimeter with olive oil. Season with flaky salt and black pepper. Drizzle with harissa. Top with the feta and breadcrumbs. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BREAD CRUMBS



Brussels Sprouts With Bread Crumbs image

The only way I will eat Brussels Sprouts! Be carefull not to cook too long, or bad lunch room memories may start to rear thier ugly heads. For this reason, I don't care for this recipe after it has been reheated, so plan to serve this immediately. It goes together quickly, so if you are serving with a roast, you can start this while the meat is resting. Dried fresh bread crumbs sounds like a contradiction, but if you use the pre-packaged stuff you will be disappointed. I just whiz a piece or two of whole wheat bread and give it a few minutes in a hot oven on a cookie sheet, or if the oven is occupied, dry toast them in a skillet. This recipe is adapted from one in Savuer Magazine. I got the bread crumb idea from Mark Bitman's "How to Cook Everything" - LOVE that book!

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 slices bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces
2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed
1/3 cup dried fresh breadcrumb
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Chiffonade the sprouts by cutting crosswise into 1/4" ribbons. Rinse well and set aside.
  • Saute the bacon in a large frying pan until cooked, but not too crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Discard all but about a tablespoon of the drippings.

  • Add back the bacon. Sprinkle the bread crumbs, lemon juice and pepper (to taste) over the sprouts. Stir well to combine.
  • Serve immediately.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 pounds small brussels sprouts (each about 1 inch in diameter), trimmed, halved through root end
1 1/4 cups diced bacon (about 6 ounces)
1 lemon, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook brussels sprouts in medium saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Spread brussels sprouts on rimmed baking sheet in single layer. Sprinkle with bacon, lemon slices, salt, and pepper; stir. Roast brussels sprouts until tender and beginning to brown, stirring every 10 minutes, about 30 minutes. Transfer to bowl and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose small, firm Brussels sprouts. Smaller sprouts are more tender and flavorful. Avoid any that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts. Cut off the stem end and any yellow or damaged leaves.
  • Quarter the Brussels sprouts. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy. This will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan with the bacon fat. Be sure to stir them so that they coat evenly with the fat.
  • Cook the Brussels sprouts until they are browned and tender. This should take about 10 minutes.
  • Add the lemon juice, zest, and breadcrumbs. Stir to combine.
  • Serve immediately. Lemony Brussels sprouts are best served hot.
