Michael Symons Pork Scallopini With A Brussel Sprout Hash Recipes

BRUSSELS SPROUT AND BACON HASH

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly. Pour off most of the bacon fat into a heat-safe bowl, leaving a thin layer of fat in the skillet.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat and cook the onions until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes; season with salt. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, another 7 to 10 minutes, adding more bacon fat if the pan seems dry. Coarsely chop the bacon and then stir it into the Brussels sprouts. Add salt and pepper to taste. Finish with the lemon juice and serve with hot sauce if desired.

FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH WALNUTS AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into a medium pot so that the oil comes 3 inches up the sides. Heat the oil to 350 degrees.
• While the oil is heating, whisk together the garlic, anchovies, serrano, red wine vinegar, honey, scallions, walnuts and extra-virgin olive oil in a bowl large enough to toss all of the Brussels sprouts. Keep the bowl near the stovetop.
• Working in batches, deep-fry the Brussels sprouts until the edges begin to curl and brown, about 3 minutes. To the last batch, add the parsley and capers (stand back-the capers will pop and sputter!). Give the contents of the pot a stir. When the color of the parsley becomes a deeper, more saturated shade of green, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, remove the contents of the pot with a skimmer and place directly in the bowl of dressing. Toss to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

PORK SCALLOPINI WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Pound pork slices with a meat mallet to 1/2-in. thickness; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add pork in batches; cook 2-3 minutes on each side or until pork is golden brown, using 1 tablespoon butter as needed. Remove; keep warm., In same pan, heat remaining butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms, celery, and remaining salt and pepper; cook and stir 6-8 minutes or until tender. Add broth, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil; cook 5-6 minutes or until liquid is reduced to 2/3 cup., Return pork to pan. Stir in cream and 2 tablespoons parsley; heat through. Serve with noodles; sprinkle with remaining parsley.

PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• For the pork: Mix together the mustard and apple cider and brush all sides of the pork loin and ribs with the mixture. Liberally sprinkle the pork loin and ribs with the smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 tablespoons cracked black pepper. Add some oil to a cast-iron skillet or roasting pan, then place the rack of ribs, curved-side down, in the skillet and place the loin, fat-side up, on top of the ribs. Roast until the internal temperature of the loin reaches 145 degrees F, about 30 minutes.
• While the pork begins to roast, cut the carrots, parsnips, potatoes and turnips into wedges using an oblique cut: Place a vegetable on a cutting board and hold your knife at a 45-degree angle to the vegetable. Cutting roughly 1-inch slices on the diagonal, roll the vegetable a quarter turn toward you each time you make a cut so you're cutting point to point until the vegetable is completely cut. Add the carrots, parsnips, potatoes, turnips, garlic and thyme to the skillet with the pork roast. Drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return the skillet to the oven and continue to cook until the loin reaches 145 degrees F.
• Transfer the pork loin to a cutting board to rest and tent with foil. Return the skillet to the oven and cook until the ribs and vegetables are cooked through, about 30 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the oven, transfer the vegetables to a platter and transfer the ribs to a cutting board.
• For the pan gravy: Heat the same skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until it absorbs the fat in the skillet. Slowly whisk in the cider and 1 cup water and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly to smooth out any lumps, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley and set aside.
• Cut the rack of ribs into individual ribs and scatter over the roasted vegetables. Slice the pork loin and shingle onto the platter. Spoon the pan gravy over the top and serve.

BRUSSELS SPROUT AND KALE SALAD WITH GREEN GODDESS DRESSING

Steps:

• Set up your grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• To a food processor, add the torn bread and pulse until you have some very fine and some larger breadcrumbs. Transfer to a cast-iron pan. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Place on the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid and bake until golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes.
• To a blender, add the avocado, garlic, buttermilk, sour cream and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, then blend until smooth. Pour into a mixing bowl and mix in the dill and scallions. To a large mixing bowl, add the kale. Massage the kale until it darkens and softens. Add the Brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Dress with as much dressing as you'd like. Top with the croutons and cheese. Serve! Any remaining dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
