Brussels Sprouts Walnut And Ricotta Salata Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together 1 tablespoon each Dijon mustard and capers, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 4 teaspoons sweet relish and 1/4 cup olive oil in a large bowl. Fold in 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley and 2 finely chopped hard-boiled eggs. Add 10 ounces shredded brussels sprouts (about 5 cups) and toss to fully coat. Season with salt and pepper; let stand 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature to soften slightly.

Steps:

• Mix 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons dried oregano and a pinch of salt. Brush on 1 sliced baguette, then toast in a 350 degrees F oven, 6 to 8 minutes. Working in batches, deep-fry 3 cups Brussels sprout leaves in 375 degrees F canola oil until light brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain on paper towels and season with salt. Spread the crostini with ricotta, season with salt and pepper and top with the fried Brussels sprout leaves and shredded parmesan. Sprinkle with red wine vinegar, if desired.

Steps:

• Stir together the warm water, honey and yeast in a measuring cup or small bowl. Let sit until a small layer of foam develops at the top, 3 to 5 minutes. (If this doesn't happen, discard and try again with new yeast.)
• Whisk the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Add the foamy yeast mixture and olive oil and mix together with a stiff rubber spatula. Form the dough into a uniform ball in the center of the bowl. Be sure to scrape and use any dough stuck to the sides. The dough will be very sticky at this stage. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and keep in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Sprinkle a generous amount of flour on a clean, dry work surface. Scrape the dough onto the floured surface and knead for a couple of minutes, working in just enough flour to make the dough less sticky but still moist to the touch. Form the dough into 1, 2 or 4 balls, for large, medium and small pizzas. Place the dough ball(s) on the prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a dish towel and let rest for 30 minutes. The dough can then be shaped and cooked as desired or wrapped well and frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature, shape and cook as desired.

Steps:

• Place farro in a medium bowl. Add enough water to cover; let soak 20 minutes. Drain. Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat; add drained farro and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add lemon zest and toss to combine; set aside to cool.
• In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and 1/2 cup ricotta salata. Add olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly to emulsify. Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add brussels sprouts, radicchio, pear, carrot, and fennel to bowl with farro. Add lemon juice mixture and toss to combine. Add parsley, mint, and remaining 1/2 cup ricotta salata. Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper; drizzle with additional olive oil or lemon juice, if desired.

Steps:

• 1. Toss the Brussels sprouts, walnuts, olive oil, and lemon juice together in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• 2. Shave or crumble the ricotta salata over top; toss and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange pancetta in a single layer. Bake on lower rack until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain; set aside. On another rimmed baking sheet, toss Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Bake on upper rack until tender, 18 to 20 minutes, tossing once.
• In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar and remaining oil; season with salt and pepper. Add lettuce, pear, and Brussels sprouts; toss to combine. Divide among four serving plates, and top with ricotta salata and pancetta.

Steps:

• Slice Brussels sprouts across in 2 mm strips, using a food processor or slicer. Discard cores (use for healthy snacks.)
• Chop walnuts into 1 cm chunks.
• Grate cheese (aged Gruyere, not processed smoked Gruyere) (or parmesan).
• Toss cheese with sprouts and nuts.
• Whisk together mustard, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, until blended.
• Pour over salad, toss lightly, and serve.
