Not everyone loves Sprouts, but this family love them. This is a great make ahead recipe, and the longer this recipe is kept refrigerated the better it gets. Cooking time includes refrigeration time. Ingredients:
2 lbs brussels sprouts |
3/4 cup olive oil |
2 lemons, zested and juiced |
2 large shallots, peeled and sliced |
1/2 cup parsley, chopped fine |
4 large garlic cloves, minced |
salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Make the dressing: Whisk (or shake in a jar) the olive oil and lemon juice together vigorously until thick and pale yellow.
5. Pour the dressing over the sprouts and toss.
6. Refrigerate for at least an hour - but note that these are really a lot better, a day after cooking.
