Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon
2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (quartered if large)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Pour the olive oil into a small saucepan. Remove wide strips of zest from the lemon using a vegetable peeler, taking care not to get the white pith. Add the zest to the olive oil and heat over medium heat until the zest is sizzling, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Put the Brussels sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet; drizzle the olive oil over the sprouts, leaving the zest in the pan. Toss the Brussels sprouts and spread in a single layer (it's OK if some of the leaves fall off). Season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Broil, stirring often, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and charred in spots, 12 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the reserved lemon zest; add to the Brussels sprouts along with the garlic during the last 2 minutes of broiling. Transfer to a bowl, add the chives and toss. Season with salt and pepper.

STEAMED ROOT VEGETABLES WITH DILL BUTTER



Steamed Root Vegetables With Dill Butter image

A great recipe I like to use in winter when I receive my monthly shares from the local organic farm. There are usually a lot of roots included. OK the brussel sprouts don't count as roots, but the rest are. If I just have large potatoes, I cut in eights instead of quarters. If I just have regular large onions, I cut them in eighths, but the chunks do tend to separate with cooking. Times will vary slightly for different types of vegetable. During preparation, I just scrub off the skins of the carrots with a vegetable brush rather than peel them, which saves time and is less messy I think. I give the time for if you steam them one after another, but of course you can cut down on cooking time continually by steaming different types simultaneously in separate saucepans (or steam some together if you have a large enough pan). I omit the salt, but you don't have to. This goes great with roast beef.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm Brussels sprouts. Avoid sprouts that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts. Cut off the stem end and any yellow or wilted leaves.
  • Steam the Brussels sprouts until tender. You can steam them in a steamer basket over boiling water, or in a microwave.
  • Make the lemon-dill butter while the Brussels sprouts are steaming. This will give the butter time to infuse with the flavors of the lemon and dill.
  • Toss the Brussels sprouts with the lemon-dill butter. This will coat the sprouts in a flavorful sauce.
  • Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately. They are best when eaten fresh.
