Grilled Brussels Sprouts With Maple Mustard Glaze Food

MAPLE-MUSTARD-MIXED PEPPER GLAZED SALMON WITH BRUSSELS SPROUT SLAW

Steps:

• Whisk together 2 cups water, the maple syrup, salt and whole peppercorns in a bowl. Add the salmon, place a piece of plastic wrap over and place a plate on top to keep submerged. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Remove the salmon from the brine. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and place on a baking rack set over a baking sheet place in a cool, dry place (not the refrigerator) until the surface of the fish is dry and matte-like, 1 to 3 hours depending on humidity. A fan may be used to speed the process.
• Combine the maple syrup, mustard and crushed pink peppercorns.
• Prepare the ceramic cooker: Remove the grill grate and ceramic plate from the cooker. Scatter the soaked wood chips over the top. Adjust the cooker to maintain a temperature of 150 to 160 degrees F. This temperature should be maintained throughout the entire smoke. Put on the ceramic plate. Smoke until the thickest part of the fish registers 150 degrees, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Start brushing with the glaze every few minutes for the last 15 minutes of the smoking process.
• Serve the salmon with the Brussles Sprouts Slaw.
• Whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, maple syrup, celery salt and some salt and pepper in a large bowl.
• In a food processor with a grater attachment, shred the Brussels sprouts. (If you do not have a food processor you could grate by hand or cut very thinly with a knife.) Transfer to the bowl with the dressing. Add the radicchio and chives and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving (to allow the sprouts to break down and soften). Add the walnuts before serving.

GRILLED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH MAPLE-MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high heat (425℉). If using wooden or bamboo skewers, place 5 to 6 skewers in a shallow pan or dish with water to soak for 30 minutes.
• Steam the Brussel sprouts for 4-5 minutes using your preferred method. Allow the sprouts to cool for 3-4 minutes or until cool enough to handle. See NOTES below for steaming method options.
• Thread the steamed Brussels sprouts onto the skewers by inserting the pointed end of the skewer into the stem of the sprout then using your hand to gently, but firmly, slide it onto the skewer.
• Make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, mustard, oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the glaze to be used later.
• Brush the glaze onto the skewered sprouts. If you don't have a brush, spoon the glaze onto the sprouts and slather it around with the back of the spoon.
• Place the skewers directly on the grill grate and cook over direct heat for 2 minutes or until grill marks appear and the outermost leaves start to get charred and crispy on the edges. Turn the skewers and repeat two more times, cooking for a total of 6 minutes or until the sprouts are cooked to your liking.
• Remove the skewers from the grill and place on a clean plate or platter. Drizzle the reserved 1 tablespoon glaze over the Brussels sprouts and serve. May be served hot or cold.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
