HASHED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Place lemon juice in a large bowl. Cut bottoms off sprouts, and discard. Working in batches, use a food processor fitted with the slicing blade to cut sprouts into thin slices. (If cutting by hand, halve sprouts lengthwise, and thinly slice them crosswise. The slices toward the stem end should be thinner, to help pieces cook evenly.) As you work, transfer slices into bowl with lemon juice. When all sprouts are sliced, toss them in juice and use your fingers to separate leaves. (Recipe can be prepared to this point and refrigerated, covered, for up to 3 hours.)
• When ready to serve, heat oil and butter over high heat in a 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, but still bright green and crisp, about 4 minutes. Some leaves may brown slightly.
• Add wine and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Turn off heat, add salt and pepper to taste, and more lemon juice if desired. Stir in the lemon zest, reserving a little for top of dish. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with remaining zest and serve.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Pour the olive oil into a small saucepan. Remove wide strips of zest from the lemon using a vegetable peeler, taking care not to get the white pith. Add the zest to the olive oil and heat over medium heat until the zest is sizzling, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Put the Brussels sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet; drizzle the olive oil over the sprouts, leaving the zest in the pan. Toss the Brussels sprouts and spread in a single layer (it's OK if some of the leaves fall off). Season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Broil, stirring often, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and charred in spots, 12 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the reserved lemon zest; add to the Brussels sprouts along with the garlic during the last 2 minutes of broiling. Transfer to a bowl, add the chives and toss. Season with salt and pepper.

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 LEMON & PARMESAN

Steps:

• Place 1 - 2 inches of water in a large pot with a steamer basket and bring to a boil.
• Wash the Brussels sprouts. Cut off the stem end, leaving about 2/3 of the sprout and discarding the tougher outer leaves that come loose. With the tip of a knife, make an X into the interior of the core. (The trimming can be done far in advance, even a day or so if you're making for a holiday dinner.).
• Transfer to the steamer tray and place over the boiling water. Cover and let steam for about 15 minutes or until cooked clear through. (I taste one to know if they're done.).
• Sprinkle with the lemon juice and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
