• Set 2 baking sheets in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss 2 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved), 2 red onions (cut into wedges), 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Roast, cut-sides down, on the hot baking sheets, switching the pans halfway through, until tender and browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Meanwhile, simmer 1/2 cup white wine vinegar, 1/4 cup golden raisins, 2 tablespoons honey and 1/2 sliced red jalapeño (seeded for less heat) in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until syrupy, about 8 minutes. Drizzle over the vegetables.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS IN SAOR

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place racks at middle lower and middle upper positions. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine raisins and wine. Set aside to soak.
• In a large bowl, gently toss brussels sprouts with 4 tablespoons oil to coat. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread out sprouts onto prepared baking sheets, and roast until tender throughout and golden brown on the outside, 28 to 32 minutes. Halfway through cooking, rotate pans, switch their positions, and use a thin metal spatula to turn the sprouts so that they brown evenly on both sides.
• In the meantime, set a 12-inch nonreactive skillet over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons oil. When it shimmers, add onions, a generous pinch of salt and the saffron, crushing the threads with your fingers as you add them. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and just beginning to brown, 16 to 18 minutes.
• Spread the pine nuts onto a small baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. (Set a timer to prevent burning!)
• When the onions are done, add raisins and wine, pine nuts, vinegar, sugar, a few cracks of pepper, parsley, a generous pinch of salt and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed: This mixture should be sweet, bright and perk up your palate.
• To serve, mound half of the warm or room-temperature brussels sprouts on a platter and dress with half of the saor mixture and a generous squeeze of lemon. Continue with remaining sprouts, saor mixture and another squeeze of lemon. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate leftovers, which will keep for up to 5 days.
