Brussels Sprouts In Lemon Cream Food

BRUSSELS SPROUTS IN LEMON CREAM

Steps:

• Cook the Brussels sprouts in boiling water until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Combine the heavy cream, salt and pepper in a large skillet over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until cream has reduced to 1/2 cup, about 3-4 minutes. Add sprouts and lemon zest and heat through, about 2 minutes. Taste and add salt or pepper as nedded.
• You may prepare the whole recipe ahead of time and simply heat before serving. You can also use for other vegetables such as peas, asparagus, beans. Try orange zest instead, and/or add a teaspoons of poppy or caraway seeds. Enjoy.

BACON-WRAPPED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CREAMY LEMON DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Trim the stem ends from the Brussels sprouts, and halve lengthwise. Put them in a medium bowl, and toss with 1 teaspoon salt.
• Lay the bacon strips next to each other on a work surface. Brush liberally with about 1/2 the maple syrup, then halve crosswise. Wrap each Brussels sprout half with 1 strip of bacon, syrup-side out, so the seam is on the flat side. Place the sprouts seam-side down on the parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between them. Brush them with a bit more syrup, and grind a little black pepper on top. Roast, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the bacon is crisp and the sprouts are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, most of the lemon zest and all the lemon juice in a small serving dish. Sprinkle the remaining lemon zest on top. Put about 1/2 cup maple syrup in a second small serving dish, and stir in as much black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes as you like.
• Transfer the sprouts to a platter, and serve with the lemon mayonnaise and peppered maple syrup, for dipping.

HASHED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH LEMON ZEST

Steps:

• Place lemon juice in large bowl.
• Cut bottoms off sprouts and discard.
• Halve sprouts lengthwise and thinly slice crosswise.
• The slices toward the stem end should be thinner, to help pieces cook evenly. (Or you could process in food processor to facilitate, but this might result in uneven cooking.)
• As you work, transfer slices into bowl with lemon juice.
• When all sprouts are sliced, toss them in juice and separate leaves. (Recipe can be prepared up to this point and refrigerated, covered, for up to 3 hours.).
• Heat oil and butter over high heat in skillet large enough to hold all sprouts.
• When very hot add sprouts, garlic and seeds and cook, stirring often, until sprouts are wilted and lightly cooked, about 4 minutes. Some leaves might brown slightly. (I think we browned a bit more as per picture.).
• Add wine and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Cook, stirring, 1 minute more.
• Turn off heat, add more salt and pepper to taste and stir in lemon zest, reserving a little for top of dish.
• Transfer to serving bowl; sprinkle with remaining zest and serve.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH MISO-LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming the ends and removing any yellowing outer leaves. If sprouts are on the larger side, halve lengthwise. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, stir together butter and rosemary until thoroughly combined. Season to taste with pepper. Melt half of the compound butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan and toss to coat. Reduce heat to medium and cook, about 8 minutes, until crisp-tender and beginning to brown in places.
• Meanwhile, whisk together miso and 1 T. lemon juice in a small bowl. Heat briefly in microwave, about 15 seconds, and whisk until thoroughly combined and mixture reaches a sauce-like consistency, thinning with additional lemon juice or water if necessary. After Brussels sprouts are cooked, add remainder of compound butter to pan and allow to melt into the Brussels sprouts, about 1 minute more. Add miso-lemon sauce to pan and toss to coat.
• Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with lemon zest, and serve.
