WILD RICE BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND SMOKED GOUDA SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare rice according to package directions.

BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD WITH SMOKED GOUDA, PECANS, AND DRIED CHERR

• 2. Fold in Gouda, pecans, and cherries. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
• HOW TO SLICE BRUSSELS SPROUTS.
• You can use the slicing disk of your food processor or slice the sprouts with a chef's knife. Follow these steps to do the latter safely and quickly. 1. TRIM: Trim the stem end of each sprout and then cut each sprout in half through the cut end. 2. SLICE: With the flat surface on the cutting board, thinly slice each half.

SMOKY BRUSSELS SPROUT GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the bechamel: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture bubbles slightly but has not started to brown, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk. Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, whisking often. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until thickened, 12 to 15 minutes. Season with coarse salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Add smoked Gouda and stir until melted.
• Meanwhile, blanch the brussels sprouts: Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Cook brussels sprouts until just tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to an 8-cup (8-by-12-inch) baking dish.
• Assemble the gratin: Pour bechamel over brussels sprouts and sprinkle with aged Gouda and a pinch of smoked sea salt. Bake, uncovered, until bubbling and golden, about 25 minutes.
