Cauliflower Brussels Sprouts And Red Beans With Lemon And Mustard Food

CAULIFLOWER, BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND RED BEANS WITH LEMON AND MUSTARD

Steps:

• Quarter and core the cauliflower, then slice thin so that it falls apart into small, thin pieces. Whisk together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and water or stock in a small bowl and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a well-seasoned wok or in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the cauliflower and brussels sprouts and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are seared and beginning to soften. Add salt and pepper and continue to cook, stirring or tossing (as you would a stir-fry), for another 5 minutes, or until the cauliflower and the brussels sprouts are just tender and flavorful.
• Add the beans, dill and lemon-mustard mixture and stir together for another minute or two. Taste, adjust seasonings, and remove from the heat. Serve with quinoa or another grain of your choice. If desired, add a drizzle of lemon-flavored olive oil to each serving.

Steps:

• Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat to 400°F.

Repeat with the brussels sprouts on a separate baking sheet, using the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and another 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
• Place the pans in the oven and roast the vegetables, stirring and rotating the pans after 10 minutes or so, and continue to cook until tender and golden on the edges, 10 to 15 minutes longer. (Depending on the size and shape of your vegetables, the two may require different cooking times.) Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large bowl.
• Put the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the shallot and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are translucent and aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add the capers and thyme and cook for 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat and stir in the honey, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. Drizzle over the vegetables and toss to combine. Taste and season with more salt or lemon juice as needed.
• Serve right away or keep at room temperature for up to 1 hour.

• Trim the base off the Brussels sprouts, then slice them in half or, if large, into quarters. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 3 minutes. Then add the other vegetables and continue to cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
