Author Notes
This recipe was inspired by a salad I had at Barbuto, in NYC's West Village. I called a few weeks later to try and get the ingredients but was never called back, so I did my best to replicate. I think mine is even better! I also think, like most savory dishes, one could add some bacon... —wingirl
Ingredients
-
2
Dozen or so brussel sprouts
-
1 cup
pine nuts
-
2 cups
Freshly grated good quality Pecorino Romano
-
1 bunch
scallions, trimmed
-
1/2 cup
Lemon Juice
-
1 cup
Good quality olive oil
Directions
-
Buy brussel sprouts on the stem, if only because its SO cool
-
Remove the butt of the sprouts and dump them into a bowl of the hottest water your sink can make - sort of a faux blanche.
-
Drain sprouts and place them and the trimmed scallions into the chute of your cuisinart, which has been affixed with the multi-holed grater that stands tall in the cuisinart. Shred all brussel sprouts and place in salad bowl.
-
Toast pinenuts in the toaster oven on low CAREFUL - pinenuts burn easily! Toss with brussel sprouts.
-
Grate pecorino (parmesan can be substituted or combined with) in cuisinart with the standard insert. Add to salad bowl.
-
Place lemon juice, olive and a pinch of maldon or kosher salt and lots of freshly ground pepper in an old mustard or jam jar and shake vigorously. Toss with salad and serve fairly quickly.
