WARM BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD WITH SMOKED FETA AND CANDIED PECANS



Warm Brussels Sprout Salad With Smoked Feta and Candied Pecans image

This recipe came to The Times by way of Amy Lawrence, and her husband, Justin Fox Burks, who developed it for their blog, the Chubby Vegetarian. The trick to this salad is to blanch the brussels sprouts in salty water to remove the bitterness. The candied pecans combined with smoky feta creates a heavenly dish. "Even the little kids eat it,'' said Ms. Lawrence.

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound brussels sprouts (15 to 20 larger ones work best here)
1/4 cup vegan cane sugar
1 1/2 cups whole roasted and salted pecans
4 ounces smoked feta
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons golden balsamic vinegar
Sea salt flakes and cracked black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Start by tearing apart the brussels sprouts. Cut off about 1/3 of the stem end and pull the leaves apart; this takes some time, but it's worth it. Start by pressing outward with your thumbs on the cut side. This will yield the largest leaves and make for a fluffier salad. When you get to the core, just split it in half and throw it in with the leaves.
  • Blanch the leaves in boiling, salted water (as salty as the sea) until they turn bright green. This will take 10 seconds. Run the leaves under cold water to stop the cooking. Dry the sprout leaves in a salad spinner or lay them out on a clean towel to dry.
  • Spread the sugar in a cold 10-inch frying pan and melt it over medium heat. Once the edges of the sugar start to melt, stir the sugar until all the lumps disappear. Remove from the heat. Toss the pecans in the melted sugar until coated. It will look a bit like spun sugar as you stir the pecans into the sugar, and the pecans will stick together as they cool. Transfer to a plate to cool completely. Once the pecans have cooled, break the mass apart using your hands. Roughly chop the pecans.
  • Cut the feta into a 1/4-inch dice. If you cannot find smoked feta in your area, just use feta cheese and add 1/4 teaspoon Liquid Smoke to the dressing.
  • Now you're ready to assemble the salad. Place 4 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of vinegar into a large frying pan over low heat. The heat should not be so high that the dressing sizzles. Once the dressing is warm, place the sprout leaves in the pan and toss with the dressing. Transfer to a large plate. Sprinkle with cheese and nuts. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • To save time, buy pre-shredded Brussels sprouts or use a food processor to shred them quickly and easily.
  • For a more flavorful salad, roast the Brussels sprouts before adding them to the salad. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges.
  • If you don't have any walnuts on hand, you can substitute another type of nut, such as pecans or almonds.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad, such as crumbled bacon, dried cranberries, or goat cheese.
  • This salad is best served warm, but it can also be served cold.

Conclusion:

Warm Brussels sprout salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with nutrients and has a unique flavor that will please even the pickiest eaters. The next time you are looking for a new and exciting salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
