Ingredients

2 lb/907 g brussels sprouts, well-cleaned, trimmed, and halved
Salt
Private Reserve extra virgin olive oil
6 oz/170 g baby spinach
4 oz/113 g baby arugula
2 shallots, halved and thinly sliced
Big handful dried cranberries
1/2 cup/69 g blanched almonds or walnut halves, toasted
Crumbled feta cheese, to your liking
1/4 cup/ 59 ml Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup/ 59 ml fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp quality honey
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
Salt and pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Place brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil and season with salt. Toss to combine. Spread brussels sprouts on a large baking sheet. Roast in heated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside (check half-way through and give the brussels sprouts a quick stir so the other side has a chance to get some color.)
While brussles sprouts are roasting, add the spinach, arugula, shallots, cranberries and almonds to large mixing bowl. Once ready, add the roasted brussels sprouts in.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients. Pour the vinaigrette on the salad (start with less if you're not sure you need it all.) Toss to combine. Then add in crumbled feta and give it another gentle toss.
Transfer the salad to a large serving platter. Add another sprinkle of feta, almonds or cranberries if you like. Enjoy!

MEDITERRANEAN BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Mediterranean Brussels Sprouts image

This has become our favorite way to eat brussels sprouts. Some mods made on the Whole Foods recipe. I love the idea of steaming vegetables to get the pure taste coming through. After that, all you need is a dressing or sauce to make it into any style you want. We use an electric steamer to steam the brussels sprouts. And using the machine, it takes about 10-11 minutes of steaming for our taste.

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 lb Brussels sprout
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon parsley, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
1 tablespoon lemon zest, cut into matchstick

Steps:

Trim and clean Brussels sprouts, cut into quarters, and let sit for at least 5 minutes to bring out the health benefits.
Fill the bottom of a steamer with water about 2 inches. Steam Brussels sprouts for about 10 minutes. If you like them less cooked, steam for 5-7 minutes only.
While Brussels sprouts are steaming combine all dressing ingredients except Parmesan cheese and lemon zest in a small bowl.
Transfer steamed Brussels sprouts to a large bowl and toss with Mediterranean Dressing while still hot. Top with Parmesan cheese and lemon zest.

Tips:

Choose firm and brightly colored Brussels sprouts, avoiding any with yellow or wilted leaves.
Trim the Brussels sprouts by removing the tough outer leaves and cutting off the stem end.
To halve the Brussels sprouts, cut them in half through the root end.
For oven-roasted Brussels sprouts, toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting at a high temperature until tender and slightly charred.
To sauté Brussels sprouts, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly browned.
To add flavor to Brussels sprouts, consider adding ingredients such as bacon, garlic, shallots, lemon zest, or nuts.

Conclusion:

Mediterranean Brussels sprouts are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a variety of meals. With their slightly sweet and nutty flavor, Brussels sprouts pair well with a variety of Mediterranean ingredients, such as olive oil, garlic, lemon, and herbs. Whether you choose to roast, sauté, or grill your Brussels sprouts, you're sure to enjoy this flavorful and nutritious dish.
