Sauteed Shredded Brussels Sprouts

I’m a big fan of roasted Brussels sprouts. But, these sauteed shredded Brussels sprouts aren’t roasted. So, I was worried. Would I like them? No. I’d love them! They are so crunchy and flavorful! The thinly slices sprouts are perfect. I almost called this a salad, though technically, it’s not a salad. Technically, though, it is outstanding!

I’ve Been Living In A Cave

The balsamic vinegar really makes these sauteed shredded Brussels sprouts stand out. I added fresh pomegranate seeds for a little color and a little flavor pop, but you can leave them out. To be truthful, I really had no idea how great this dish would be. I enjoyed it a lot. It kinda surprised me, to be honest.

I recently purchased a new food processor. For years I have been without one after my el cheapo model finally blew up. I had been reluctant to buy another low-end model, so I bit the bullet and bought a Cuisinart 7-cup model. I could not have been any happier with my purchase. This food processor is hefty, there’s nothing cheap about it. I’d swear it has a V8 engine in it – there’s nothing it can’t chop, slice or shred.

Also try my garlic butter zoodles with Brussels sprouts and my rittzy Brussels sprouts.

Instructions

  • To shred the Brussels sprouts it is best to use a food processor. I use the shredding blade and feed the sprouts thru the top tube. You could also cut them thin with a knife or just chop them.
  • Add the butter and oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sprouts and season with salt and pepper.
  • Saute for 5 minutes then add the balsamic vinegar and saute another minute.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the pomegranate seeds.
  • Season to taste and serve.

Grilled Green Beans

These grilled green beans are the easiest side to make on the grill. I try to make everything I can outside on the grill, specially when it is hot out. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to sacrifice flavor for ease. This dish brings the flavors and takes only minutes to make. Charcoal grill or gas grill, it doesn’t matter.

Grilled Green Beans

No More Boring Green Beans

Add some diced white onion to these grilled green beans for extra flavor. You may want to sauté or grill the onion a little bit first to soften it. It takes longer to grill than the beans do.

I like to serve beans in a small glass jar. It just looks a little spiffier. I got the idea when we stopped by Firehouse BBQ and Blues, a great BBQ joint in downtown Richmond, Indiana. Why is it that things taste better out of jars? Iced tea is that way. I swear it just tastes better out of a big ole mason jar.

I recommend that you use a grill basket when making this dish. It makes cooking easier and you don’t have to worry about anything falling through the grates. And cleanup is easier too!

Also try my easy spicy grilled potatoes.

Bacon Potato Salad

Bacon goes with just about anything. And it definitely makes this bacon potato salad pop even more. Eating this potato salad is almost like eating a baked potato. In fact, I think the next time I make it I’ll add some cubed sharp cheddar cheese.

Bacon Potato Salad

Skin On. Skin Off.

I kept the skins on the potatoes for this bacon potato salad. I think it adds to the flavor (and makes it even more like a baked potato!). You do have to be careful (gentle) folding the ingredients together or you’ll lose most of the skins off of the potatoes.

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

I found the original recipe here. Also try my baked potato salad.
