Honey Dijon Brussels Sprouts w/ Cashews :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Ready.Chef.GO! ::

























 

  

 

Microwave on high for 6 to 10 mins or 400 oven for 25 to 40 mins depending on tenderness preferences
Serves 2 to 4 as entrée or side dish

1 Pound Brussels Srpouts, halved, quartered or shredded
1 Shallot (about 1/2 cup sliced)
3/4 to 1 Cup Toasted Cashews
2 Tbs Dijon Mustard
Salt & Pepper
1/2 Cup Italian Dressing
(Opt) 1 Tbs EVOO

Add the Brussels sprouts to the bag along w/ the Dijon, salt & pepper.  Pile in the sliced shallot, then the cashews.  Add the Italian dressing & optional EVOO.  Seal the bag & shake to combine the flavorings.  I like to leave the sprouts, shallot & cashews in layers, for optimal cooking. 

REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS: Microwave on high for 6 to 10 mins (I prefer 8 mins) or roast in a 400 oven for 25 to 40 mins depending on how tender you prefer your Brussels sprouts.  Let rest for 3 mins before opening the bag.  Slide out onto a serving platter or bowl and toss well to combine all.  Serve as a main or side dish.  Toss w/ cooked pasta for a hearty meatless entrée. 

NOTE:  Ready.Chef.GO! bags allow for excellent texture in the microwave & fast high heat cooking in the oven.  The results are always succulent & tender.  You’ll taste the difference.  This works well with everything from the cabbage family, savoy, red, green, napa cabbage or a mix.  Add carrots, broccoli or cauliflower for color interest.  I like to fill this bag full so the layers stay separate & the plump bags invite sales. 

POINT OF SALE DISPLAY:  Build your display with items to morph this into entrée status.  Pre cooked & grilled meats & seafood, grain medley, fresh pasta, hearty artisan breads, gourmet flatbreads & tortillas.  More nuts & croutons for crunch.  Add beverages, condiments like Honey Dijon, Italian dressing, fine EVOOs, related side dishes & hot chili spice blends & hot sauces.  When doing BBQ displays add bags of the Brussels sprouts for both side dish & meatless entrée options for your customers.  Most everyone has a few meat free guests at every party.
