Holiday Brussels Sprouts
2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise
½ cup dried fruit juice sweetened cranberries
4 shallots, thinly sliced
½ cup water
½ cup slivered almonds
1 tsp sea salt
2 Tb extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
Heat an 11 or 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add oil, then shallots; sauté for about 2 minutes then add slivered almonds, Brussels sprouts, and salt; sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the dried cranberries and water. Cover pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes. Smaller Brussels sprouts will take closer to 5 minutes, while large ones will take closer to 10 minutes. Cook until desired tenderness is reached. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serves 6.
Red Mustard Greens
Thought to have originated in China, red mustard’s leaves are succulent and tender; the stems, crisp and crunchy. Red mustard greens have a savory and nuanced peppery flavor that adds a delightful kick to any salad. They also pair well, sautéed or braised, with poultry, legumes, pork, fish, citrus, cheeses and avocados.
Your red mustard is part of the Brassica family, collectively known as cruciferous vegetables, along with turnips, broccoli and cabbage. They help lower cholesterol, especially when lightly steamed. They also have cancer-preventative qualities and help the body fight inflammation.
- Wilt the red mustard leaves in oil and garlic and, when it is nearly done, crack an egg in the center and cover to poach it as the greens finish.
- Wilt the greens in olive oil and garlic, add red pepper flakes and a splash of red wine vinegar and then wrap the mixture in thin slices of prosciutto and serve it as an hors d’oeuvre.
- Cook some thick, chopped bacon in a heavy saucepan until the fat is rendered. Slice the greens into ribbons and cook in the pork fat with salt and pepper until they are wilted. Add chicken stock or water to barely cover the greens, cover the pot, and cook until tender. Or use olive oil and garlic instead of bacon.
