Chiffonade Of Brussels Sprouts With Bacon Hazelnuts Recipes

Steps:

• Trim the stem end of the sprouts and remove any yellow or spotted out leaves.
• Shred the sprouts with the coarse shredding attachment of your food processor.
• Set aside until about 10 minutes before service.
• Cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp.
• Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel to drain.
• Set aside.
• Reserve the bacon fat in the pan.
• Just before serving, reheat the bacon fat in the pan until hot and add the sprouts to the pan.
• Saute until crisp-tender and bright green, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the bacon, hazelnuts, salt and pepper and toss to combine.
• Taste, adjust seasonings and serve.

Steps:

• Heat a 12-in saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside. Reserve the bacon fat in the pan. Just before serving, reheat the bacon fat until hot and add the brussels sprouts to the pan. Saute until crisp-tender and bright green, about 3-5 minutes. Add the bacon, hazelnuts, salt, and pepper, and stir. Taste and adjust seasonings, and serve. To toast hazelnuts: bake at 375 for 15 minutes or cook in a skillet over medium heat for 10 minutes or until skins crack. Cool and rub with a kitchen towel or paper towel to remove skins.

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, but not crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the grease in the skillet. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease and stir in the olive oil, butter, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the onion softens and the garlic lightly browns, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir in the balsamic vinegar and bring to a simmer; cook until the liquid has reduced by 1/3. Add the reserved bacon, the halved Brussels sprouts, and the chicken stock. Stir, then bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the Brussels sprouts are tender, yet still slightly firm, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until coated. Transfer coated sprouts to a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until sprouts are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Cook and stir hazelnuts in a skillet over medium-low heat until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer hazelnuts to a bowl.
• Cook and stir bacon in the same skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Add maple syrup and rosemary; cook, stirring often, until the bacon drippings and maple syrup begin to thicken and stick to the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
• Combine cooked Brussels sprouts and bacon mixture together in a large bowl; toss until sprouts are coated with maple syrup sauce. Sprinkle in hazelnuts, cranberries, and Pecorino-Romano cheese; toss well. This dish is best served warm.
