ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON & ONIONS FOR TWO

Steps:

• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add bacon (or pancetta); cook, stirring, until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add onion; cook, stirring, until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to the bowl with the Brussels sprouts. Add sage and the bacon (or pancetta) and toss to combine.

SAUTEED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and bake until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
• Halve the Brussels sprouts lengthwise and thinly slice them crosswise into fine ribbons. You should have about 6 cups.
• In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the shallot and cook 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds.

GOLDEN BEETS AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• The beets take the longest to cook so start them first. Either boil them in water in a small saucepan for 45 minutes, or roast them in the oven at 350°F for an hour fifteen minutes.
• Roasting will give you better flavor, but takes longer and uses a lot more energy (unless you are already cooking something in the oven).
• When done, set aside to cool for 10 minutes, peel and chop into 1 x 1/2 inch chunks.
• While beets are cooking you may want to toast your almond slivers if you are starting with raw almonds.
• Just heat a skillet to medium high heat and put in the almonds. Stir frequently with a spatula. When the almonds begin to brown, remove from pan into a small bowl. Let cool, set aside.
• Remove any outer leaves that look a bit ragged from the brussels sprouts. Bring a small saucepan half filled with water to a boil and parboil the brussels sprouts for 2-3 minutes.
• They should be almost all the way cooked through. (Test by cutting one in half.) Set aside for 5 minutes to cool, cut off any protruding tough stem on each sprout and cut each sprout in half.
• 4 In a medium sized skillet heat 1 Tbsp olive oil on medium heat. Add the shallot slices and cook until translucent, a few minutes.
• Add another tablespoon of olive oil and raise the heat to medium high. Add the sprouts and beets to the pan, along with the thyme and mix well. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook for 1 minute more, stirring. Remove from heat and serve. Can serve warm or at room temperature.
