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.

Stir in rosemary and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in pancetta. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

• 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.

• Reduce heat to medium-high, add brussels sprouts, and cook, stirring often, until sprouts are bright green and tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, & cashews and toss to warm.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or Pecorino Romano or Asiago cheese.
• Serve hot.
• Notes:.
• *Use a fork stuck in the core end of the sprout to keep your fingers away from the blade.
• **To toast cashews put them on a baking sheet spread out, in a 350ºF oven for 10 minutes, & they will toast nicely.

BALSAMIC GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA

Steps:

• In a heavy 10 inch saute pan, set over medium low heat, slowly cook pancetta in 1 tablespoons olive oil until golden and crisp all over. About 15 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer pancetta to a plate lined with a paper towel, leaving fat in pan. You should have about 2 Tbsps. of fat remaining, if not add remaining 1 tablespoons oil to pan. Have ready 1/2 cup water.
• Put the pan over medium high heat and arrange the sprouts cut side down in a single layer. Cook undisturbed until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes. When the sprouts are browned, add water to the pan, cover immediately and simmer until the sprouts are tender. If water evaporates before sroupts are tender, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time. With a slotted spoon, transfer sprouts to a bowl. Return pan to medium high heat, and if any water remains, let it boil off.
• Add balsamic vinegar and a few grinds of pepper. Boil vinegar until it's reduced to about 2 Tbsps., and looks syrupy. About 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and add butter, and stir until it's melted. Return sprouts and pancetta to the pan and swirl and shake the pan until the sprouts are evenly coated. Season with salt and more pepper, and serve.
