Brussels Sprouts, Fish

This was very good.  Our oldest even took seconds of Brussels Sprouts.  So, I might put them in the rotation even if they’re not with this specific recipe.

Adapted from The Yellow Table’s recipe

Ingredients (serves 8):
1 cup chopped bacon
2 cups shredded Brussels Sprouts
½ cup white wine
2 Tbsp olive oil
8 6-oz servings of cod (adjust accordingly, I will try a full fillet that I cut later next time.)
Salt & pepper
20 oz carrot puree (I used Wegman’s which has a nice hint of ginger.)

Directions:

The Brussels Sprouts and cod can be made in parallel.

Brussels Sprouts:

  1. Cook the bacon in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it begins to brown.
  2. Add the Brussels Sprouts and cook for about 3 minutes, until wilting and bright green.
  3. Add the white wine and simmer until it evaporates.
  4. Remove from heat.  Salt and pepper to taste.

Cod:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°.
  2. Salt and pepper the cod.
  3. Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.  (I used a non-stick roasting pan.)
  4. Add the cod, skin side down.  Sear the fish for 3 minutes.
  5. Flip the cod pieces and move the pan to the oven.
  6. Cook for 5 more minutes or until the fish flakes easily.

Heat the carrot puree per the package instructions.

Plate separately, or stack: carrot puree first, topped by cod, then Brussels Sprouts.

Brussels Sprouts

We often have this with lemon chicken and pan fried potatoes.  I plan to post the potato recipe next week.  I tend to use whole Brussels sprouts, but I imagine shaved ones would be excellent also, just a different consistency.  You might not even have to steam those.

Brown Butter Brussels Sprouts
Adapted from Aaron McCargo Jr.’s recipe on Food Network.

Ingredients:
1 ½ lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved or quartered into bite size pieces
3 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp caraway seeds
Juice from 1 lemon
Salt & pepper

Directions:

  1. Steam the Brussels sprouts to your desired eating consistency.  They can be done in advance and brought back to room temperature.  I do not recommend refrigerating them after steaming.
  2. In a saute pan, melt the butter.
  3. Add the Brussels sprouts and saute until browned and warmed.
  4. Add caraway seeds and lemon juice.  Salt and pepper.  Stir and serve.
