Brussels Sprouts With Brown Butter And Sage Recipes

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BROWNED BUTTER

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add Brussels sprouts; cook until slightly tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and run sprouts under cold water to stop the cooking process. Trim ends off each Brussels sprout and slice sprouts in half.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; arrange Brussels sprouts, cut sides down, in the hot oil. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook Brussels sprouts, keeping them in the same place, until cut sides are browned, 7 to 9 minutes.
• Mix red onion and garlic into Brussels sprouts; cook and stir mixture until Brussels sprouts are cooked through but still firm, 10 to 13 more minutes.
• Place butter in a cold saucepan; place saucepan over medium heat. Cook butter until it begins to bubble and foam, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; cook, constantly stirring, until butter begins to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and pour browned butter over Brussels sprouts; toss to coat.

CAMPANELLE WITH WALNUTS, SAGE-BROWN BUTTER, AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and return to boil; add pasta and cook according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, combine butter and walnuts in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter starts to brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add sage leaves, and continue cooking until butter is golden brown, about 1 minute more. Remove skillet from heat, and add lemon juice; set aside. Drain pasta, and add to the skillet. Stir in capers, and toss to coat. Transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
• In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add brussels sprout leaves, and cook until bright green, about 30 seconds. Garnish the pasta with the brussels sprout leaves and cheese. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil before serving.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH HAZELNUT BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 450°F.
• Put butter on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast until the butter is melted, browned and fragrant (4-5 minutes).
• Remove baking sheet from oven and toss Brussels sprouts and hazelnuts with the browned butter; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Return to oven and roast for 7 minutes; sprinkle with water, toss, and continue roasting until the sprouts are tender and lightly browned (another 7-9 minutes).
• Note: I used quite a bit more butter and added extra hazelnuts.

CRISP GNOCCHI WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Trim and halve the brussels sprouts. Using a vegetable peeler, peel thick strips of lemon zest, then coarsely chop. (You should have about 2 teaspoons chopped zest.)
• In a large (preferably 12-inch) skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the brussels sprouts, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then arrange the brussels sprouts in an even layer, cut-side down. Scatter the lemon zest over the top and cook, undisturbed, until the brussels sprouts are well browned underneath, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the red-pepper flakes, stir and cook until the brussels sprouts are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high. Break up any gnocchi that are stuck together, add them to the pan and cook, covered and undisturbed, until golden brown on one side, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the butter and honey, season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper, and cook, stirring, until the butter is golden, nutty smelling and foaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the brussels sprouts until warmed through. Serve with grated Parmesan.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BROWN BUTTER AND SAGE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, add the sprouts to boiling salted water and cook until bright green and just tender, 6 to 8 minutes; drain and set aside.
• In a 12-inch skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until nutty brown in color, being careful not to burn it.
• Add the sage, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sprouts, salt, and pepper.
• Toss to coat in the butter and cook until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve warm.
