Brussels Sprout And Caramelized Shallot Gratin Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Toss together brussels sprouts, shallots, garlic and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Season with salt and pepper and roast, tossing occasionally until sprouts are bright green and just tender (think al dente), 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine bread crumbs with remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Pour cream and scatter Gruyère over sprouts and toss to coat. Continue to roast until cream is reduced by about half and sprouts are beginning to brown, another 12 to 15 minutes.
• Scatter bread crumbs over sprouts and return to oven until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sit 1 to 2 minutes at room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss together brussels sprouts, shallots, olive oil and salt. Evenly divide brussels sprouts mixture between two rimmed 13-by-18-inch baking sheets, spreading everything into one layer. Top with thyme sprigs.
• Roast, stirring once, until brussels sprouts and shallots are tender, golden and lightly charred in spots, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together garlic, Worcestershire and lemon juice.
• As soon as brussels sprouts emerge from oven, immediately drizzle with Worcestershire dressing, tossing to combine. Taste and add more salt, lemon juice, or Worcestershire if needed. Top with grated Parmesan if you like and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in medium skillet over medium heat.
• Add shallots; sprinkle with coarse kosher salt and pepper.
• Sauté until soft and golden, about 10 minutes.
• Add vinegar and sugar.
• Stir until brown and glazed, about 3 minutes.
• Halve brussels sprouts lengthwise.
• Cut lengthwise into thin (1/8-inch) slices. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add sprouts; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until brown at edges, 6 minutes.
• Add 1 cup water and 2 tablespoons oil. Sauté until most of water evaporates and sprouts are tender but still bright green, 3 minutes.

Steps:

• INA'S CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS (~1 CUP):.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a 12-inch ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the shallots and sugar, tossing to coat.
• Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the shallots start to brown.
• Add the vinegar, salt and pepper. Toss well.
• Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the shallots, until they are tender. (It pays to make the shallots the same size so they all finish at the same time.).
• If making ahead, refrigerate shallots up to 2 days before making the rest of the recipe. Allow to come to room temperature before adding to the Brussels sprouts.
• TOPPING:.
• In a bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, butter, lemon zest, salt, pepper and parsley.
• Set aside until Step 19.
• GRATIN:.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Grease a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick fry pan with the butter. Bring caramelized shallots to room temperature.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until tender, 5-7 minutes. Drain, then transfer to a bowl of ice water. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
• In a bowl, stir together the flour, Gruyere, Parmigiano-Reggiano, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons Kosher salt, and the pepper.
• Into the flour-cheese bowl, stir in the cream, then the Brussels sprouts and caramelized shallots.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared fry pan and smooth the top.
• Sprinkle the bread crumb topping mixture evenly on top.
• Bake until the bread crumbs are golden brown, about 35 minutes.
• Let the gratin rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• To roast garlic: Cut off the papery tip of the garlic head, exposing the top of each garlic clove. Brush the exposed cloves with olive oil. Place the garlic, root side down, on the center of a piece of aluminum foil. Bundle the garlic with the foil, leaving a small vent on top. Roast the garlic for 45 minutes or until the cloves turn beige and are fork tender. Remove from the oven and let stand until cool enough to handle. Squeeze the garlic head upside down over a small bowl and the cloves will pop out. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
• Peel off any damaged outer layers of Brussels sprouts. Trim the stem to make it flush. Quarter each sprout and score the stem on each quarter with a 1/4-inch-deep "X.".
• Saute the prosciutto in the butter over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and Brussels sprouts and stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the flour and continue stirring for 2 minutes.
• Add the cream, half-and-half, and sherry. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat and continue simmering for 7 minutes or until the liquid is reduced by 1/3.
• Stir in the 1 cup of Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
• Transfer to an ovenproof casserole dish. Cover with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan (I used only 1/4 cup as this seemed adequate). Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the Caramelized Shallots: Warm the butter in a medium, heavy bottom saucepan over medium-low heat. Add sliced shallots and season with sugar, a pinch of salt and a few turns of freshly ground pepper. Cook shallots until caramelized (light brown and soft), stirring frequently. This should take 15 - 20 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of caramelized shallots for the gratin. Refrigerate any leftovers. For the Gratin & Topping: Preheat oven to 375. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside. Prepare an ice bath. Also set aside. Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling add a handful of salt. Drop in the brussels sprouts and cook until just tender (about 5 minutes). Using slotted spoon, transfer to ice bath. Drain and gently dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, Gruyere, Parmesan, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and the freshly ground pepper. Add the cream, brussels sprouts and caramelized shallots, stirring to combine. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top. To make the topping, add bread crumbs, melted butter, lemon zest, salt, pepper and parsley to a medium bowl, stirring to combine. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the gratin. Bake until the bread crumbs are golden brown (30 - 35 minutes). Let the gratin rest for 10 - 15 minutes before serving.
