Brussels Sprouts With Gremolata Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the middle burners and keep the remaining burners at medium high. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
• Toss the Brussels sprouts with the butter, oil, 2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Layer the bacon in a 24-by-12-inch grill basket in a single layer and top with the Brussels sprouts. Close the grill basket and place it on the grill over indirect heat Brussels sprouts-side down. Cover the grill and cook until the Brussels sprouts are tender and dark golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Open the grill, flip the basket so the bacon is down and move the basket to direct heat. Cook until the bacon is crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. If you want your Brussels sprouts darker, flip again and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
• Carefully remove the Brussels sprouts to a serving platter, crumble the bacon over the top and sprinkle with the lemon zest. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes and Parmesan, if using.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets or baking dishes with parchment or foil and brush with olive oil. Place the Brussels sprouts on one and mushrooms on the other and toss each with salt and pepper to taste and 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil. Roast together in the oven, or 1 sheet at a time, for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. The Brussels sprouts should be browned on the edges and tender. The mushrooms should be soft and there should be juice on the baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together garlic, parsley and lemon zest (this is the gremolata).
• Tip mushrooms, with the juice in the baking dish, into a large bowl. Add Brussels sprouts and gremolata and toss together. Spoon quinoa onto plates or into wide bowls, top with the Brussels sprouts and mushrooms, spoon on any juice remaining in the bowl, top with crumbled feta or goat cheese if desired and serve.
