The many Ways to Use Shaved Brussels Sprouts
While shaved Brussels sprouts are a fine side dish (especially with beef and game), there are other delicious ways to use them. Add them to a risotto with porcini mushrooms and finish with a drizzle of black truffle oil. Use them in a quiche with sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, and pine nuts. Scatter them over a salad with quinoa, citrus fruit, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts. Mix them into grated potatoes, whisked egg, flour, and spices, then fry them into little pancakes (röstis) and top with dry-cured ham and a fried egg. Add them to potatoes au gratin with crispy bacon. The possibilities are endless.
How To make ahead and store
If stored in an airtight container, the shaved Brussels will stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days. Cooled leftovers can be stored in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
