MARINATED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Set up a large bowl of cold water with ice cubes. Trim the Brussels sprouts from the stem (if necessary) and cut in half.
• Drop the sprouts in the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain the spouts and place them into the bowl of ice water until cool.
• Finely chop the red onion. Whisk together the 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar, and 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard. Taste and add additional vinegar if necessary, as well as salt and fresh ground pepper.
• Toss the vinaigrette with the Brussels spouts. Place in a sealable container and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to a day. Serve with toothpicks. (We found giving each guest a toothpick of their own was easier than individually toothpicking each sprout - but you could do either!)

• Place them in a bowl.
• Wipe mushrooms clean, remove stems and place caps in bowl with the sprouts.
• Bring remaining ingredients to a boil in a saucepan*.
• Pour over sprouts and mushrooms.
• Once the marinade has slightly cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before serving to take off the chill.
• *If you want, tie the herbs and garlic in a bouquet garni and remove when serving.

MARINATED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Clean the Brussels sprouts and trim off the bottom 1/4 inch of their core, and remove any loose outer leaves. Cut a small slit in the bottom of each sprout with a small sharp knife.
• Fill a large bowl with cold water (add some ice if not cold enough) and set it aside. Bring an inch or so, of lightly salted water to boil in a large pot. Add the sprouts and cover. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sprouts are just barely tender. Cut one in half to check. Drain the sprouts and plunge immediately into the bowl of cold water. Leave them there for a few moments then drain again.
• Cut the sprouts in half and place in a large bowl. Season sprouts to taste with salt and pepper, then toss with the lemon zest, shallots, parsley, and minced garlic.
• Make the dressing: Whisk (or shake in a jar) the olive oil and lemon juice together vigorously until thick and pale yellow.
• Pour the dressing over the sprouts and toss.
• Refrigerate for at least an hour -- but note that these are really a lot better, a day after cooking.
