Cast Iron Blistered Brussels Sprouts Recipes

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Trim bottom of brussels sprouts, and slice each in half top to bottom. Heat oil in cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers; put sprouts cut side down in one layer in pan. Put in garlic, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Cook, undisturbed, until sprouts begin to brown on bottom, and transfer to oven. Roast, shaking pan every 5 minutes, until sprouts are quite brown and tender, about 10 to 20 minutes.
• Taste, and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Stir in balsamic vinegar, and serve hot or warm.

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.

CRISPY BRUSSELS SPROUTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Trim a sliver off the end of the brussels sprouts and cut in half. Pre-heat a large cast iron pan just above medium heat or two minutes, you can also use a non-stick pan. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan, about 2 tablespoons, and allow to heat up for 30 seconds. Add the brussels sprouts cut side down, and only add one to cover the pan in one layer. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes and only flip when the sprouts are deep golden brown. Season with a nice pinch of salt and cook another 4 minutes or until the second side is deep golden in color. Repeat with the second batch. Serve and enjoy!
