BRUSSELS SPROUT LEAF AND BABY SPINACH SAUTé



Brussels Sprout Leaf and Baby Spinach Sauté image

This recipe was brought to The Times in 2012 by Sara Forte, a self-taught vegetarian chef and the author of the Sprouted Kitchen, a vegetarian food blog. While Ms. Forte loves whole roasted brussels sprouts, she knows many people don't like the woodsy center. In this simple warm salad, only the tender outside leaves are used. Just peel the leaves away, discard the core, then sauté with jumble of fresh spinach and dress with a white wine-maple syrup vinaigrette. A handful of Marcona almonds finishes it off for a a pleasant crunch.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or Champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
4 cups baby spinach
2 generous pinches of sea salt
1/2 cup Marcona almonds

Steps:

  • Working with one brussels sprout at a time, peel off each individual leaf, starting from the outside and working toward the middle. Continue to peel until you get to the tough core where it is just too tight to pull any more leaves. Discard the core and put the leaves in a big bowl. Repeat with the remaining brussels sprouts.
  • Over medium heat, warm the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add all of the brussels sprout leaves and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add the vinegar and maple syrup and toss to coat. Add the spinach to the pan and toss until it is just barely wilted. It is better just slightly underdone in this case, as it will continue to cook in its own heat.
  • Sprinkle with the salt and Marcona almonds and serve immediately.

LASAGNA WITH ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND CARROTS



Lasagna With Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Carrots image

A crowd-pleasing dish with endless varieties. If you are ever in doubt about what sort of casserole to make ahead for a crowd, make lasagna. There are so many versions that will please children and grown-ups, lacto-vegetarians and meat eaters. I like to tuck roasted vegetables into the layers of pasta, marinara sauce, Parmesan and ricotta. In this rendition I used brussels sprouts and carrots; the sprouts are slightly bitter and the carrots sweet. I sliced the brussels sprouts about the same width as the carrots and roasted the two together. Before you begin to assemble your lasagna it helps to be organized about the quantities of each element that you will need for the layers. It is very frustrating to get to the last layer of your casserole and not have enough sauce for the top.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed at base and sliced (not much thicker than 1/4 inch; I get about 3 slices out of a small brussels sprout, 4 out of a larger one)
1/2 pound carrots, peeled and sliced on the diagonal
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus additional for oiling baking dish
8 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
Very small pinch of cinnamon
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 1/3 to 2 1/2 cups marinara sauce (more to taste)
7 to 8 ounces no-boil lasagna (depends on the size and shape of your dish)
4 ounces (1 cup) freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Place brussels sprouts and carrots on the parchment and season with salt and pepper. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil until evenly coated. Place in oven and roast 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes, until tender and lightly colored. Remove from oven and turn heat down to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly oil a rectangular baking dish.
  • Blend ricotta cheese with egg, water, cinnamon, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spread a small spoonful of tomato sauce in a thin layer over the bottom of the baking dish. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles. Top the noodles with a thin layer of ricotta. Spoon on a few dollops then spread with an offset or a rubber spatula. Top ricotta with half the brussels sprouts and carrots, and top vegetables with a layer of tomato sauce and a layer of Parmesan. Repeat layers, then add a final layer of lasagna noodles topped with tomato sauce and Parmesan. Drizzle remaining tablespoon of oil over the top.
  • Cover baking dish tightly with foil and place in the oven. Bake 40 minutes, until the noodles are tender and the mixture is bubbling. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

1 cup diced mushroom
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (12 ounce) box pasta
shredded cooked chicken (optional) or shredded cooked turkey (optional)

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach and Brussels sprouts will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh Brussels sprouts, you can use frozen ones, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Spinach and Brussels sprouts should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Use a good quality marinara sauce: The marinara sauce is the base of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can either make your own or use a store-bought sauce. If you're using a store-bought sauce, be sure to choose one that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good flavor.
  • Add some Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese is a classic addition to pasta dishes, and it adds a delicious nutty flavor to this dish. You can add it to the pasta before serving or sprinkle it on top.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
