      My top 3 ways to have Brussels sprouts are: gifted, stored, and discarded. But your ways look good, too, Brian ;)

    • @johnvanantwerp2791
      @johnvanantwerp2791 Před rokem

      We make a hash similar to your first recipe that everyone, kids included, loves. We don't use the nuts and briefly fry the brussel sprouts in the rendered bacon fat. Another favorite is brussel pancakes with onion, garlic, red pepper and a little egg white and flour to hold them together. Briefly fried in neutral oil they are delicious!

    • @jbgatewood6927

      I love the idea of all these recipes, but in my neck of the woods, for my budget fresh Brussels are cost prohibitive for me. I would love to see some great recipes that will work well with frozen veg, especially the sprouts.

    I would love for you to do this with every vegetable as it becomes seasonally available. Not full course meals, but singular dishes like this video. You could make the "3 Ways to Make _____" standard. Keep each video under 15min and Im sold. Tons of upcoming fall vegetables to do this with.

      Pretty much all veg can be blanched and buttered like the second method, if you need some inspiration. I make green beans like that all the time, super easy.

    • @maxz3511
      @maxz3511 Před rokem +5

      @@Virginiafox21 Oh, for sure. However, there's a few things people may get hung up on: blanching time by vegetable, seasoning pairings, etc. There also may be people who only watch one video in the series or need to be reminded that essentially "boiling" vegetables does not equate to bland food. That being said, blanching need not be featured in every proposed video. Coming from a childhood of boiled, canned, or "smothered in ranch dressing" I used to think 75% of all vegetables were un-palatable... until I started to learn that its all in the technique and working seasonally if possible. Now I may judge a good restaurant meal by how good they make the veggies, any one can make a steak taste good.

  • @24kachina
    @24kachina Před rokem +34

    Love these preps, especially the raw salad and the blanched mounted butter. Must try both ASAP. My go to is halved sprouts lightly seared in a tad of olive oil with shallots and garlic, then shallow braised in chicken stock and a splash of dry white wine until sprouts are tender and most of the liquid evaporated and reduced, S and P to taste. Platter or plate, then sprinkle over a good bit of crumbled goat cheese and top with bacon crumbles. Not groundbreaking, but simple and delicious.

  • @richhare3765
    @richhare3765 Před rokem +1

    Thank you Brian. Love brussel sprouts but my prep has been absolutely pedestrian. You have given me the gift of elevating home fare to a whole new level. You have also - as is usually the case - provided me with instructions to make all sorts of additional dressings which I'm sure can be used for side dishes other than sprouts. Your ability to take a simple vegetable and elevate it to something special that even I (a simple home cook) can do never ceases to amaze me. We are not worthy....

    Thankyou for these recipes... I adore Brussels so this vid is perfect and might stop me snacking on raw sprouts while I'm chopping them for my salads... sometimes there's not many left for coating in miso dressing when we're having them roasted😃.
    Also, you are a lifesaver with your candied pecans. My wife and daughter tasked me to replicate 'cinnamon-candied cashews' that they sampled while out shopping recently and I was at a loss as to how to tackle them, fearing I'd end up with a slab of praline and need to break out the hammer... your meringue idea has bowled me over, thankyou, and I'll be giving that a go this weekend.
    Take care and 'hello' from the UK😊

    I was never able to eat Brussel sprouts until I discovered roasting them, same with cauliflower and broccoli.

    Definitely going to have to try the raw salad and the roasted sprouts. I make roasted balsamic brussels sprouts with pancetta, shallots, and capers for every family get together. But boy are they a lot of work. Your roasted sprouts sound every bit as tangy, salty, and sweet as what I make but with less overall effort. A win at the holidays for me! I have made 3 of your dressings and they have all been the best I have ever had of their variety, so I definitely want to try the salad too. Great video about one of my fave veggies!

    I’d be tempted to include dried cranberries for the salad!

    I love Brussel sprouts!!! My kids eat them because I’m creative in the way I dish it up - chicken rice bowl (*whispers “with sautéed Brussel sprouts”) stir fried those bad boys into noodles and tonight will be roasted with duck breast and roast potato, corn and gravy. But my favourite is an Italian version cooked with blanched tomatoes (to remove the skin) and garlic (olive oil, salt and pep) so yum! Thanks Brian for the inspo!

    Nice. I have some ordered for pickup today. Will try some roasting. I'm an unusual halfway on Brussel Sprouts, neither love nor hate them. Usually it's a bag of frozen ones into a microwave to steam and then top with salad dressing --- a decent though not rousing side. Thanks.

    I have been making the kale/broccoli saute thing you did in a video a while back and its dope. Would love if we could get a "lean" vegetables series where you show how to cook vegetables that are delicious without a bunch of oil/butter for us trying to lose some weight :)

      If you blanch the vegetables like he showed for the second recipe, you can make a reduction sauce to go on it in place of the butter sauce. Fat will add a creamy smoothness that you can't really get any other way, but you can also reduce all manner of broths, juices, wines, etc to make a very flavorful, low fat sauce. Another option is to make a rich bone broth (assuming you eat meat) that you could then reduce to a demi-glace - it's VERY time consuming, but so worth it.
      That said, you shouldn't eliminate all fats - it is still a vital nutrient and helps absorption of various nutrients, and even a small addition of butter or olive oil can really amp up the flavor of any sauce you use.

    One recipe we like for Brussels too is pan roasting them essentially then topping with crisped bacon, like what you did for the shaved Brussels and then drizzling maple syrup on them to warm it. Salt and lots of pepper, delicious!
