Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad Recipes

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, orange juice and shallots. Let stand 5 minutes so the acidity in the juice can begin to break down the shallots. Whisk in the Dijon and honey until well combined. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Season aggressively with salt and add pepper.
• For the salad: Add the sprouts, apricots, hazelnuts and pecorino to the vinaigrette and toss to coat. The salad can be dressed 15 to 20 minutes in advance if you like more tender Brussels sprouts.

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
• Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter to the same saute pan and cook over medium-high heat just until the butter melts. Add the shallots and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender and starting to brown.
• Meanwhile, place the Brussels sprouts in the feed tube of a food processor fitted with the large slicing disk. (You don't need to core them.) Process the sprouts in batches until they are all sliced, transferring them to a bowl. Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan with the shallots, add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally (I use tongs), until crisp-tender and bright green. Add the pancetta and cook for 1 more minute. Off the heat, stir in the balsamic vinegar, season to taste, and serve hot.
