Stir Fried Brussels Sprouts With Shallots And Sherry Recipes

STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Cook one 12-ounce bag shaved Brussels sprouts, 4 ounces sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt in a skillet with vegetable oil until crisp-tender, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring halfway through. Push the vegetables to one side. Add 1 teaspoon oil and 1 minced garlic clove; cook 20 seconds. Add 3 tablespoons Asian sweet chili sauce and 1 tablespoon fish sauce; toss. Top with chopped cilantro and mint.

SHERRY-GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pearl onions and cook until tender and the skins peel off easily, about 2 minutes; drain and rinse under cold water. Trim the root ends and pinch the opposite ends to remove the skins.
• Combine the brussels sprouts, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons butter, the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the brussels sprouts are bright green and crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Add the pearl onions and cook until the skillet is almost dry, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the sherry and thyme. Cook, tossing, until the vegetables are glazed, about 2 minutes; season with salt. Top with chives.

STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over high for a few minutes. Drops of water should skitter across the surface then evaporate quickly. Set the pan lid and 1/2 cup water next to the stove. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan (3 to 4 tablespoons), then add garlic and sizzle until fragrant and wisps of smoke rise from the oil, about 15 seconds. Add brussels sprouts, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir to coat with oil. Spread in an even layer, carefully add water and immediately cover.
• Cook without stirring until the water has almost completely evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes. After silent simmering, there will be loud popping sounds that quiet to a crackle.
• Uncover, sprinkle with sugar and soy sauce, and stir for 1 minute. Sprinkle with red-pepper flakes and serve.

SUPERB STIR FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat your wok over high heat until very hot, add the olive oil and swirl around once.
• Now add the garlic and stir fry for a few seconds to scent the oil.
• Immediately tip in the sprouts (before the garlic has a chance to burn) and stir fry constantly for about 4 minutes until the sprouts are cooked-you are aiming for tenderness with a residual crunch.
• Stir in the sun dried tomato strips, the lemon zest and lemon juice to taste; then stir fry for a final 30 seconds or so.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.

SHERRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Wash and trim brussels sprouts.
• Place in steamer basket, and place basket in pot in which bow ties are cooking. Cook brussels sprouts about 7 minutes, until they are tender but firm. Remove and drain.
• Combine oil and vinegar, and stir sprouts in.

STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH SHALLOTS AND SHERRY

Steps:

• Trim the ends off the brussels sprouts and remove and discard any discolored outer leaves. Shave a scant 1/4-inch-thick slice off one side of each sprout and put cut side down. Cut scant 1/4-inch-thick slices to make about 6 cups. Transfer the brussels sprouts to the colander of a salad spinner and rinse under cold water. Put the colander into the salad spinner and spin to remove excess water. Combine the sherry and soy sauce in a cup. Combine the salt and pepper in a small dish.
• Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the shallots and garlic and stir-fry no more than 10 seconds, until the aromatics are fragrant. Add the brussels sprouts, sprinkle with the salt mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute, just until the brussels sprouts are bright green. Swirl the sherry mixture into the wok, cover and cook 1 minute, until almost all the liquid has evaporated. Uncover and stir-fry for 2 minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are crisp-tender and the liquid has just evaporated. Sprinkle with the pine nuts.
