Scalloped Brussels Sprouts Food

BRUSSELS SPROUTS GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook uncovered until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the Brussels sprouts are cold, drain well, and cut in halves or quarters, depending on size. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until limp and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and stir in the Brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper then toss for about 1 minutes to evenly distribute the seasonings. Arrange bacon and Brussels sprouts on the prepared baking dish. Pour cream evenly over the Brussels sprouts, then sprinkle breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese on top. Distribute pieces of butter over the bread crumbs.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and heated through, 20 to 25 minutes.

THE BEST ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Cut the bread into large cubes. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until uniformly chopped (the pieces of bread should be slightly smaller than a peppercorn; you should have about 2 cups).
• Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the melted butter, Parmesan, a pinch of salt and few grinds of black pepper. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crisp, stirring halfway through, about 14 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack to cool.
• Meanwhile, place another rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
• Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, remove any tough or bruised outer leaves and cut each in half lengthwise. Toss the Brussels sprouts, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl.
• Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and add the Brussels sprouts, cut-side down, in an even layer. Roast until well browned and tender, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving platter and top with the Parmesan breadcrumbs.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the lime juice, maple syrup, mustard, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Season with pepper.
• Add the bacon and olive oil to a large, cold skillet. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is very crispy but not burned, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and carefully pour all but 2 tablespoons of the fat in the pan into a heatproof dish or jar. Place the pan back on the heat.
• Pat the scallops dry with a cloth or paper towel, and season with salt on all sides. Carefully place each scallop, flat side down, into the hot fat and cook, without touching, until nicely golden brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook briefly this time until very lightly golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the brussels sprouts to the hot pan, making sure each one is turned cut side down. Season with salt and pepper and cook, still over medium-high and without touching, until brown and slightly charred on that one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Add more bacon fat as needed to keep the pan coated. Now gently shake the pan or stir with a spoon to stir-fry briefly, just a few seconds.
• When the brussels sprouts are charred on the cut sides and bright green on the rounded sides, transfer them to the plate with the scallops. In the now-empty pan, add the lime juice mixture and cook, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat until it bubbles up and reduces by more than half and a spoon dragged through the pan leaves a naked trail in the lime glaze, 2 to 5 minutes. It should look sticky like melted candy.
• Remove the pan from the heat and return the scallops to the pan, tossing in the butter as well. Stir until the butter is fully melted and incorporated into the lime glaze. This residual heat should also finish heating your scallops. Add back the seared brussels sprouts and bacon and gently toss in the glaze. Garnish with the chives.
• Serve right from the pan if you'd like with a side of crusty bread or bowls of rice.

SCALLOPS AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons clarified butter over medium-high in a medium skillet. Season scallops with salt and pepper; add to pan and cook, turning once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• In another medium skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons clarified butter over medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts to skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly crisp, 30 to 45 seconds.
• Toss Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons jalapeno dressing until coated. Place on a serving plate; top with scallops.
• In a small bowl, mix together onion, cilantro, and jalapeno with remaining 2 tablespoons jalapeno dressing. Spoon over scallops and serve immediately.

HOW TO COOK BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Tip the sprouts into a pan and add a couple of cm water and a pinch of salt - a large pan works better so they're not piled up too high. Cover and bring the water to the boil, turn down to a simmer and cook with the lid on for 3- 5 mins depending on size.
• Test with a sharp knife to see if they are cooked through. If not, cook for a little longer and test again.
• Drain and tip the sprouts into a bowl. Serve with a knob of butter, if you wish.
