Shredded Brussels Sprout Salad Food

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, orange juice and shallots. Let stand 5 minutes so the acidity in the juice can begin to break down the shallots. Whisk in the Dijon and honey until well combined. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Season aggressively with salt and add pepper.
• For the salad: Add the sprouts, apricots, hazelnuts and pecorino to the vinaigrette and toss to coat. The salad can be dressed 15 to 20 minutes in advance if you like more tender Brussels sprouts.

SAUTEED SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Place the Brussels sprouts in the feed tube of the food processor fitted with a large slicing disc. (There is no need to core them.) Process the Brussels sprouts until they're all sliced.
• Place the butter and olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and heat it over medium heat. Add the sliced Brussels sprouts, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and saute them, stirring frequently, for about 4 to 5 minutes, until tender but still bright green. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, season to taste, and serve hot.

SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS & PECANS SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Spread pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until fragrant and lightly browned, about 10 minutes; set aside.
• Meanwhile, with the shredding disk of a food processor, shred Brussels sprouts (if you don't have a food processor, halve and thinly sliced with a chef's knife). In a large nonstick skillet, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat. Add mustard seeds and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add Brussels sprouts and cook, tossing occasionally until tender and beginning to brown, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with pecans.

SHREDDED SPROUT 'SORT-OF-CAESAR' SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. First, make the croutons. Combine the sourdough pieces with the anchovies and rosemary in a roasting tin. Drizzle over the oil, season with a little black pepper, then toss to coat evenly. Roast on a high shelf in the oven for 8-10 mins until golden and crisp. Set aside.
• For the dressing, put the egg yolk, anchovies, mustard and garlic in a small food processor with a pinch of salt, and blitz to a paste. Whisk the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Combine the two oils in a small jug. With the food processor running, slowly pour in a quarter of the oil mixture, then add a little of lemon and vinegar mixture, then slowly add another quarter of the oil mixture. Continue to alternate between the oil and the lemon and vinegar mixtures (to keep the dressing from splitting) until you have a thick, creamy dressing. Add the parmesan and blitz again to combine. Taste for seasoning
• For the bacon and chestnuts, heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan or skillet, and fry the bacon until starting to crisp up. Once the fat has rendered out from the bacon, add the chestnuts and stir to coat in the bacon fat, frying for a minute more. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Using a mandoline or very sharp knife, finely shred the sprouts from the top to the base, then transfer to a large bowl and toss gently with your hands to break up some of the layers. Squeeze over a little lemon juice, then season with a small pinch of salt. Pour over just enough of the dressing to coat the sprouts - you don't want them to be soggy, so start with a small amount and add more if needed. Drain the rehydrated cranberries and toss these through the sprouts, along with half the bacon and chestnut mixture and half the croutons. Transfer the salad to a large serving platter, or divide between plates or bowls. Top with the remaining croutons, bacon and chestnuts, then scatter over the shaved parmesan to serve.

SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Spread pine nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden, 8 to 10 minutes; let cool.
• Meanwhile, prepare a large bowl of ice water; place a colander inside bowl. Line a baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels. Cook brussels sprouts in boiling water until bright green and tender, about 1 minute. With a wire skimmer or slotted spoon, transfer to colander to stop cooking. Cool completely in ice bath, then transfer to lined baking sheet to drain; pat dry.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar and oil. Add apple, brussels sprouts, and toasted pine nuts; season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Rinse and drain the chickpeas; lay them on a double layer of paper towels and dry them as much as you can. Transfer the dried chickpeas to a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and cayenne (if using). Toss to combine, then spread into an even layer. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until brown and crispy, shaking the pan once or twice throughout. Set aside to cool.
• While the chickpeas are roasting, make the Caesar Dressing.
• For the fastest possible shredding, cut the end of the bottom off of the brussels sprouts, then shred them using a food processor slicing blade like one of these. Alternatively, you can carefully slice the brussels sprouts with a mandoline, taking care to watch your fingers. I recommend holding the stem, slicing from the top, and discarding the bottom stem. If you do not have a food processor OR a mandoline, you can use a sharp chef's knife: remove the stems and any wilted outer leaves, then slice the sprouts into very thin ribbons. For all methods: once the brussels sprouts are sliced, place the shreds in a bowl, then toss and fluff them with a fork or your fingers.
• Add half of the chickpeas, two-thirds of the dressing, and Parmesan to the bowl. Toss to evenly moisten, then add a little extra dressing as desired. Taste and season with black pepper as desired. Sprinkle with the remaining chickpeas. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
