Brussel Sprouts By Jeff Recipes

SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat a large cast iron or similar sturdy bottomed skillet over medium high for 4 minutes. Add the oil. As soon as the oil is hot and shining (but before it starts smoking), swirl to cost the pan, then add the halved Brussels sprouts. Shake the skillet a little and prod them so that as many as possible are cut-side down. Let sit completely undisturbed for 5 to 8 minutes, until they develop a dark, tasty, caramelized sear.
• Add the salt and pepper. With a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the Brussels sprouts. Continue cooking, stirring every few minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are browned all over and just turning tender the inside, about 6 to 8 additional minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vinegar, then the pine nuts or almonds. Let the residual heat of the skillet toast the nuts, stirring them very often so that they toast evenly on all sides and do not burn (if they aren't toasting, return the skillet to low heat). As soon as the nuts are toasted, transfer the sprouts to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Enjoy hot.

CHARRED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND MAPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cook the bacon in a large cast-iron pan in the oven or on the stovetop until browned and crisp and the fat has rendered out, about 10 minutes. Set the bacon aside on a cutting board to let cool. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer in concentric circles, cut-side down, in the bacon fat in the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until the sprouts begin to caramelize, about 4 minutes . When they begin to brown, transfer the pan to the oven and roast until charred and tender, about 15 minutes.
• Return the pan to medium heat. Transfer the sprouts to a bowl, leaving some fat behind. Add the shallots and cumin to the pan and cook, stirring often, until the shallots soften and the cumin smells fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the maple syrup, mustard and salt and pepper to taste, and whisk until bubbly. Add the sprouts to the sauce and remove the pan from the heat. Add the chives and stir to coat the sprouts in the sauce. Transfer to a serving plate.
• Chop the bacon and sprinkle on top.

PERFECT ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. If desired, line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• On your baking sheet, combine the halved sprouts, olive oil and salt. Toss until the sprouts are lightly and evenly coated. Arrange the sprouts in an even layer with their flat sides facing down.
