HOW TO MAKE HASHED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH POPPY SEEDS AND LEMON |

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts with the lemon juice.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. When the oil is hot, stir in the Brussels sprouts, garlic and poppy seeds and cook. Add the white wine and continue stirring until the sprouts are bright green and just tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter and serve.

HASHED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Place lemon juice in a large bowl. Cut bottoms off sprouts, and discard. Working in batches, use a food processor fitted with the slicing blade to cut sprouts into thin slices. (If cutting by hand, halve sprouts lengthwise, and thinly slice them crosswise. The slices toward the stem end should be thinner, to help pieces cook evenly.) As you work, transfer slices into bowl with lemon juice. When all sprouts are sliced, toss them in juice and use your fingers to separate leaves. (Recipe can be prepared to this point and refrigerated, covered, for up to 3 hours.)
• When ready to serve, heat oil and butter over high heat in a skillet large enough to hold all sprouts. When very hot, add sprouts, garlic and seeds, and cook, stirring often, until sprouts are wilted and lightly cooked, but still bright green and crisp, about 4 minutes. Some leaves may brown slightly.
• Add wine and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Turn off heat, add salt and pepper to taste, and more lemon juice if desired. Stir in the lemon zest, reserving a little for top of dish. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with remaining zest and serve.

Steps:

• Cut off the stems from the brussels sprouts and halve each one lengthwise. Slice each half into thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick, and place in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice and toss.
• Heat the olive oil in a saute pan almost to the smoking point. Stir in the sprouts with the lemon juice, the garlic and the poppy seeds. Add the white wine and toss for about 3 minutes. The sprouts should be bright green and barely crunchy. Reduce the heat to low, season with salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute. Serve immediately.
