Wild Rice Brussels Sprouts And Smoked Gouda Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare rice according to package directions.
• In large saute pan, heat olive oil on medium. Add brussels sprouts, season with salt and pepper to taste, and saute until tender and lightly browned, 8-10 minutes.
• In a bowl, stir cooked rice, sprouts, and all other remaining ingredients. Mix until cheese is melted and everything is nicely mixed. If too thick, add a little water to thin it out. Season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
• Serve warm/right away, 3/4 cup per person.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Lightly grease/spray a casserole dish.
• In a large saucepan, cook Brussels sprouts in salted water until crisp-tender (fresh will take longer than frozen). Drain and place into prepared casserole dish.
• While sprouts are cooking, melt 2 tbsp butter in a small saucepan. Add shallots; cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low; add flour to saucepan and stir constantly to blend.
• Add cream to saucepan; stir.
• Add sugar, pepper, paprika, salt, and shredded cheese to saucepan. Stir frequently and cook until cheese is melted and smooth.
• Pour sauce mixture evenly over Brussels sprouts in the casserole dish.
• In a small bowl, combine the 1 tbsp melted butter and the breadcrumbs. Evenly sprinkle over the top.
• Bake, uncovered at 375°F for 15-20 minutes or until top is bubbly and slightly browning.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the bechamel: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture bubbles slightly but has not started to brown, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk. Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, whisking often. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until thickened, 12 to 15 minutes. Season with coarse salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Add smoked Gouda and stir until melted.
• Meanwhile, blanch the brussels sprouts: Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Cook brussels sprouts until just tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to an 8-cup (8-by-12-inch) baking dish.
• Assemble the gratin: Pour bechamel over brussels sprouts and sprinkle with aged Gouda and a pinch of smoked sea salt. Bake, uncovered, until bubbling and golden, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Whisk lemon juice, mustard, shallot, garlic and ½ teaspoon salt together in large bowl. Slowly whisk in oil until incorporated. Toss Brussels sprouts with vinaigrette, and let sit for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
• 2. Fold in Gouda, pecans, and cherries. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
• HOW TO SLICE BRUSSELS SPROUTS.
• You can use the slicing disk of your food processor or slice the sprouts with a chef's knife. Follow these steps to do the latter safely and quickly. 1. TRIM: Trim the stem end of each sprout and then cut each sprout in half through the cut end. 2. SLICE: With the flat surface on the cutting board, thinly slice each half.
