Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Pastrami And Pickled Red Onion Recipe 435

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Cut the bread into large cubes. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until uniformly chopped (the pieces of bread should be slightly smaller than a peppercorn; you should have about 2 cups).
• Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the melted butter, Parmesan, a pinch of salt and few grinds of black pepper. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crisp, stirring halfway through, about 14 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack to cool.
• Meanwhile, place another rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
• Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, remove any tough or bruised outer leaves and cut each in half lengthwise. Toss the Brussels sprouts, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl.
• Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and add the Brussels sprouts, cut-side down, in an even layer. Roast until well browned and tender, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving platter and top with the Parmesan breadcrumbs.

Steps:

• PREPARATION For Pickled Onions: Bring rice wine vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan. Add sugar and salt, and stir until dissolved. Turn off heat and let mixture cool for about 5 minutes. Put diced onion in a large heatproof container, and pour vinegar mixture over. When mixture is room temperature, refrigerate for at least a day. For Brussels Sprouts: Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut pastrami into strips roughly ¼ inch wide and 2 inches long. Melt butter in a large skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Add pastrami and cook over medium heat until browned fat has rendered out, about 3 minutes. Pour pastrami and fat into a large heatproof mixing bowl. Add Brussels sprouts, salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Line two large baking sheets with foil and spread Brussels sprouts out on them in a single layer. Don't crowd the pans. Roast for 35 minutes, removing pans from the oven at the 20 minute mark to move the Brussels sprouts around a little, then rotating the pans from top to bottom rack before putting them back in the oven for the remaining 15 minutes. Brussels sprouts will be dark brown and crispy around the edges. Strain the pickled red onions and reserve ½ cup of pickling liquid. As soon as the Brussels sprouts come out of the oven, toss them with the red onions and the ¼ cup of liquid while they're still warm. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves. Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour them on a sheet pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly. Sprinkle with more kosher salt ( I like these salty like French fries), and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Line jellyroll pan with foil.
• In large bowl, toss sprouts and onion with oil, sugar, salt and pepper.
• Spread in single layer in pan.
• Roast 35 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time, until sprouts are tender and lightly browned.
• Remove from oven.
• Drizzle with vinegar; toss well.

Steps:

• Trim outer leaves and stems from Brussels sprouts, and discard. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, and add salt. Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Add Brussels sprouts to boiling water, and cook until tender but still bright green, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and plunge into ice-water bath to cool. Drain well, and cut in half.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts, and cook, tossing occasionally, until they are brown and crisp on the edges, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and transfer to a large bowl. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon each butter and oil to the same pan over medium-low heat. Add onions, and cook, tossing occasionally, until wilted and transparent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add vinegar (stand back to avoid the fumes), and stir to loosen any brown bits on bottom of pan. Cook until vinegar is reduced and the onions are glazed, about 30 seconds.
• Add onions to Brussels sprouts, and toss well. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Boil sprouts in salted water until tender but still bright green, about 4 minutes; drain and immerse in an ice bath; drain and cut in half.
• Saute sprouts, over medium high heat, in 1/2 tsp butter and 1/2 tsp oil until brown and crisp on edges, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper and place in serving bowl; cover and keep warm.
• Saute the onions in the same pan, over medium low heat, with the remaining 1 tsp butter and 1 tsp oil, until transparent, about 3-4 minutes; stand back to avoid fumes and add vinegar, deglazing the pan.
• Cook until vinegar is reduced and the onions are glazed, about 30 seconds; add to the sprouts and toss to combine; garnish with nuts, if desired; serve immediately.

Steps:

• Toss onion in vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet (at least 12-inches) over medium-high heat. Add sausage, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break it up into smaller pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sausage is cooked through, browned and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove sausage from skillet, leaving any fat behind. Set aside.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet along with brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper and shake skillet so that most of the sprouts land cut-side down, turning some over with a fork, if necessary. Cook, without stirring, until brussels sprouts are well browned on one side, 5 to 8 minutes. Shake skillet to continue to brown sprouts all over, another 5 to 8 minutes. Add sausage back into skillet and stir to combine.
• Remove from heat and add onions and any vinegar left over, tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper, add parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425° F.
• Trim onions, keeping root ends intact, and cut each lengthwise into 6 wedges, keeping wedges intact. In a large bowl toss onions with oil and salt and pepper to taste. In 2 shallow baking pans arrange onions in one layer and roast in upper and lower thirds of oven 20 minutes. Carefully turn onions over and switch position of pans. Roast onions 20 minutes more, or until just tender and some edges are golden brown.
• Trim Brussels sprouts and have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook sprouts until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes, and drain in colander. Transfer sprouts to ice water to stop cooking and drain in colander. Vegetables may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled separately, covered.
• In a small bowl stir together mustard and water. In a 12-inch heavy skillet cook onions and sprouts in butter over moderately high heat, stirring, until heated through and stir in mustard mixture and salt and pepper to taste.
