Buttery Sage Onion Sprouts Recipes

BUTTERY SAGE & ONION SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat half the butter in a large frying pan and soften the onions over a low heat for about 15 mins until really soft - but don't let it brown. Add most of the sage. Meanwhile, cook the sprouts in a pan of boiling water for about 4 mins, add the peas and cook for 1 min more until just tender.
• Drain, reserving a splash of the water, then add the sprouts and peas to the onions, along with the rest of the butter, stirring well so that all the veg gets coated in the butter. Add the reserved cooking water if it looks a bit dry.
• Season with lots of black pepper and some salt. Serve with the reserved sage on top.

CREAMED ONIONS WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan, then add 2 tablespoons salt. Add onions, and cook until just tender, about 12 minutes. Drain. When cool enough to handle, trim root ends with a paring knife, and pop onions out of their skins. Let dry on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, and whisk until mixture bubbles slightly but has not started to brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk. Raise heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Stir in remaining 3/4 tablespoon salt, the nutmeg, and sage. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Stir in onions, and cook over low heat until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Discard sage, retaining a few leaves for garnish if desired.

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.
