Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad With Fresh Walnuts And Pecorino Food

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUT AND KALE SLAW WITH PECORINO AND TOASTED HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Roughly chop the hazelnuts, and then spread them out on a sheet pan and roast in the oven until golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Wash and pat dry the Brussels sprouts and kale. Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise, through the stem. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, finely slice the Brussels sprouts crosswise to give you fine ribbons. Remove the tough stems from the kale leaves and discard. Stack the leaves up on top of one another and cut across the stem so it yields a similar shape to the shaved Brussels sprouts. Cut the sides of the apple off and cut into thin slices.
• To make the vinaigrette, combine the olive oil, champagne vinegar, Dijon mustard and some salt and pepper in a bowl, whisking together until lightly emulsified. To serve, mix the Brussels sprouts, kale and apple together well in a large salad bowl. Lightly dress with the champagne vinaigrette, and then top with shaved Pecorino and chopped toasted hazelnuts.

• In a large bowl, combine shaved sprouts with the other ingredients, mixing roughly by hand so that the greens begin to wilt a little. Season to taste with salt and add a little more olive oil if necessary, either for your taste or because the sprouts were large.

• Notes:.

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
• Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter to the same saute pan and cook over medium-high heat just until the butter melts. Add the shallots and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender and starting to brown.
• Meanwhile, place the Brussels sprouts in the feed tube of a food processor fitted with the large slicing disk. (You don't need to core them.) Process the sprouts in batches until they are all sliced, transferring them to a bowl. Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan with the shallots, add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally (I use tongs), until crisp-tender and bright green. Add the pancetta and cook for 1 more minute. Off the heat, stir in the balsamic vinegar, season to taste, and serve hot.
