Sprouts - Take Two!

Brussels Sprouts are delicious, nutritious and grow on trees. The have 3 times more vitamin C per weight than an orange - and - as I mentioned, they are DELICIOUS. This version is a great way to sneak them on a plate...they don't even LOOK like Brussels Sprouts!

Warm Sprout Slaw with Prosciutto
Yield: Serves 6 very lucky people
Easily veg'd, easily vegan'd, gluten free

Ingredients:
4 c shredded Brussels sprouts, just cut them in half long ways and then slice in ribbons
2 T sherry vinegar, or whatever you got
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 small shallot, chopped
1 t Dijon mustard
6 T extra virgin olive oil,
2 t fresh thyme, chopped or rosemary or sage or whatever tickles your fancy
S&P to taste
4 oz prosciutto, julienne


Method:
  • Place the shredded sprouts in a medium size metal bowl or pot, if that makes you more comfortable.
  • Prepare the dressing by whisking together the vinegar, garlic, shallot, and mustard in a bowl until smooth. Then slowly whisk in the oil and work until smooth (or hit it with your immersion blender). Add chopped thyme and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over the greens and toss well.
  • Place the bowl over medium high heat and cook just until the sprouts are sizzling, tossing regularly.
  • Taste, season, and toss with prosciutto. Serve warm.
