The Best Brussels Sprouts Recipe!

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. Brussels sprouts
  • 3 oz. cooked pancetta or cooked bacon
  • 15 leaves Italian parsley
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Dressing:

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • ½ shallot
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ cup salad oil
  • Sea salt

Instructions

For the Dressing:

  • Combine all the ingredients into a bowl except the oil
  • Mix with a whisk or a stick blender
  • Slowly add the oil while the blender is going
  • Season with salt to your taste

For the Sprouts:

  • Place a large pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil (make sure that the pot filled with water will have enough room for the Brussels sprouts to float around freely)
  • Add in more sea salt than you think you need, this will help to flavor the Brussels sprouts as well as help to retain the bright green color
  • Trim the bottom of the Brussels sprouts to remove the hard stem.
  • Cut the Brussels sprouts in half from top to bottom.
  • Place the Brussels sprouts in the boiling water and blanch for approximately 4-5 minutes (or until the core of the Brussels sprouts is just starting to feel tender)
  • Scoop out the Brussels sprouts with a mesh strainer and place into a large container filled with ice.
  • Once the Brussels sprouts are completely cooled you can strain them out and place them on a baking sheet, toss with oil.
  • Place Brussels sprouts in a hot wood burning oven or grill, or a conventional oven set to 500 degrees, until the outer leaves are charred.
  • Remove Brussels sprouts from the oven and scoop into a serving vessel. Top with the dressing, pancetta, and parsley.
