Green Cabbage And Red Apple Slaw With Brussels Sprouts Food

GREEN-CABBAGE AND RED-APPLE SLAW WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Bring 1 1/4 cups water to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons vinegar and the cabbage. Cover, and steam until cabbage has just wilted, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cabbage to a colander set over a large bowl. Immediately add brussels sprouts and onion to colander; toss to combine. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Whisk orange juice, lemon juice, remaining tablespoon vinegar, dill, mustard, poppy seeds, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour in oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified.
• Transfer cabbage mixture to a large bowl. Add vinaigrette and apples, and toss gently to coat. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes, tossing occasionally. Serve.

SAUTEED CABBAGE AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the shallots in a small baking dish, toss with 1 tablespoon canola oil and the sugar and season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning a few times, until golden brown and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool slightly, then thinly slice.
• Put the bacon in a large saute pan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat, then add the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil to the pan. Return to the stove over medium heat and heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Add the cabbage and Brussels sprouts, season with salt, pepper and the red pepper flakes, and cook until the vegetables are soft and light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and the shallots. Transfer to a platter and top with the crisp bacon.

APPLE AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS SLAW

Steps:

• In a small skillet set over medium heat, toast the pecans until light golden brown. Watch carefully so they don't burn. Allow the nuts to cool.
• Trim the ends off of the Brussels sprouts and peel away any wilted outer leaves. Using the slicing blade on a food processor, shred the Brussels sprouts. Alternatively, use a mandoline (watch your fingers) or thinly slice with a sharp chef's knife.
• In a large bowl, combine the shredded Brussels sprouts, green onion, apples and rosemary. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Serve.
