Josephines Brussels Sprouts With Peanut Vinaigrette Food

JOSEPHINE'S BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PEANUT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 and place a pan of hot water in the bottom, to help prevent the sprouts from becoming tough. Turnon convection if you have it. Toss sprouts with peanut oil, sprinkle with salt and spread out on one or two baking sheets. Roast 15 minutes. Stir and continue cooking 10 - 20 minutes more, until browned and crisp. Check sprouts every 5 minutes or so; if they are browning too fast, reduce heat by 25 degrees and turn off convection. Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a bowl, whisk together vinegar and honey. Whisk in peanut butter until thick and creamy. Add water until consistency is like creamy salad dressing. Season to taste with hot sauce if using. When sprouts are tender and browned, remove from oven, transfer to a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Add half the dressing and toss well. Take orange and cut a thick slice off the bottom and the top to make flat surfaces. Rest bottom on a cutting board and use a small sharp knife to carve off all the peel and pith, cutting from top to bottom and following the curve of the fruit. When all the orange flesh is exposed, cut out each segment by slicing along the white membranes. Gently loosen from the orange and set aside. Add half the orange and half the cherries to bowl and toss. Taste. Adjust with more dressing, orange and cherries until flavors are balanced. Serve warm or at room temp, topped with fresh chopped mint.
