Sherry Balsamic Caramelized Brussels Sprouts Recipes

CARAMELIZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Add olive oil and the cranberry pear white balsamic vinegar to a non-stick skillet. I used a 12-inch skillet, so the sprouts had room to cook. If you pile in too many, they will steam rather than caramelize.
• Using medium-high heat and add the sprouts that have been cleaned and sliced in halves or quarters if on the large size. I added about 3 cups.
• Cook approximately 10 minutes until the sprouts are fork tender and the edges and sauce is caramelizing. The vinegar will get nice and gooey and sticky.
• Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese if desired and serve.

SHERRY-GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pearl onions and cook until tender and the skins peel off easily, about 2 minutes; drain and rinse under cold water. Trim the root ends and pinch the opposite ends to remove the skins.
• Combine the brussels sprouts, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons butter, the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the brussels sprouts are bright green and crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Add the pearl onions and cook until the skillet is almost dry, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the sherry and thyme. Cook, tossing, until the vegetables are glazed, about 2 minutes; season with salt. Top with chives.

CARAMELIZED BALSAMIC GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Spray a large 12-inch skillet with olive oil, add in the diced bacon and heat over medium heat. Stir and cook the bacon for 5 minutes.
• Add in the chopped onion, stir and cook until the bacon is crispy and the onions are soft and translucent and the edges are golden.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon and onions to a paper towel lined plate, leaving the bacon fat still in the skillet.
• In a single layer place the halved brussels sprouts, cut-side down in the skillet before adding the rest. Cover and allow the steam to help to cook the sprouts. Let the brussels sprouts cook for 5-8 minutes this way before stirring.
• Add the bacon and onions back into the skillet with the minced garlic. Stir and continue to cook the sprouts until fork tender but not too soft. Season with a little bit of kosher salt and a lot of black pepper, to taste.
• Drizzle in two tablespoons of the balsamic glaze, stir and serve hot with a sprinkle of minced parsley.

• In a Dutch oven or 12" skillet heat the sugar over medium high heat until sugar begins to melt, shaking pan occasionally to heat sugar evenly.
• Once sugar starts to melt, reduce heat and cook until sugar begins to turn brown.
• Add butter; stir until melted.
• Add the vinegars.
• Cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Add the water and salt.
• Bring to boiling; add the sprouts.
• Return to boiling; reduce heat.
• Simmer, covered, for 6 minutes.
• Uncover; cook about 15 minutes longer or until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the sprouts are coated with a golden glaze, stirring occasionally.
• Keep warm until serving.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS IN A SHERRY BACON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Dissolve 1 tablespoon of salt in enough water to cover the Brussels sprouts in a bowl, and soak the sprouts in the salty water for 1 hour. Drain off the water, and toss the sprouts in olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to coat thoroughly.
• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown at the edges, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; stir in the shallot and mushrooms, then cook until the shallots turn translucent, about 5 more minutes. Sprinkle in the garlic, and cook 1 minute, then stir in the sherry and cream until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil, and stir until reduced by half. The thickened sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
• While the sauce is cooking, lay the Brussels sprouts, cut sides down, onto a baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven until the sprouts are browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer the browned sprouts to the sauce, toss to coat, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
