Brussels Sprouts in Agrodolce

Thanks to all of you who came to the cooking class on Saturday.  I was a lot of fun and I can't wait to do it again!  So many people have asked for the Brussels Sprouts recipe and I am finally going to post it up.  Let me know if there are other recipes you are interested in.  For those of you who think you don't like brussels sprouts, you have to try this recipe!


The agrodolce recipe below if enough for about one pound of brussels sprouts.  Halve or quarter them, depending on their size.  Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat.  Add brussels sprouts (be careful, they will spatter a little) and saute until they are golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.  Remove with a slotted spoon to drain off some of the oil and toss with agrodolce.  Season with salt, to taste.


Agrodolce
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp anchovy, minced
1/2 tsp red chile flake
3 Tbl red wine vinegar
1 Tbl honey
2 Tbl green onion, thinly sliced
6 Tbl almonds, crushed
3 Tbl extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbl Italian parsley, minced
1 Tbl capers, drained
2 tsp kosher salt


Combine all ingredients and stir, making sure honey is completely dissolved.
