RICOTTA CROSTINI WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Ricotta Crostini with Brussels Sprouts image

I love this because you can do most of it ahead of time and just finish them at the last minute. They won't crowd your stove either. By Brussels sprout "leaves", I mean peeling off the layers of leaves from the Brussels sprouts and using them as garnish. You can braise the remaining "hearts" as a side dish as well.

Time 30m

Yield 32 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 10

32 slices French bread, sliced into rounds at an angle
3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing the bread
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano
6 cups canola oil, for frying
1 cup Brussels sprout leaves
1/2 cup ricotta cheese, mixed until smooth
Cracked black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 to 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Toast the bread: In a large bowl, add the bread slices and toss with the olive oil, a sprinkle of salt and the oregano. Toss to blend and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the tray in the oven and bake until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside. In a large pot, heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet fitted with a kitchen towel to drain the leaves as they come out of the oil. To test the temperature of the oil, put a few Brussels sprout leaves on a slotted spoon and submerge them in the oil. It should bubble slightly and the leaves should gradually rise to the top. Fry the rest of the leaves in small batches until they become light brown. Transfer them to the kitchen towel. Season with salt immediately.
  • Assemble the crostini: Top each slice of bread with some of the ricotta. Season with salt and pepper. Top with some of the Brussels sprout leaves and the Parmesan. Sprinkle with vinegar. Serve immediately.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS CROSTINI



BRUSSELS SPROUTS CROSTINI image

Categories     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 bulbs roasted garlic
1 large baguette
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound brussels sprouts, sliced or shredded
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
pinch of nutmeg
2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
shaved parmesan cheese for topping

Steps:

  • If needed, you can roast garlic ahead of time! A day or two is fine. Preheat oven to 375. Chop off the top portion of the garlic head to reveal cloves. Lightly rub back and forth to remove paper and peel any excess paper off. Pour about a teaspoon of olive oil on top the garlic cloves and let soak for 10 minutes. Cover with foil and roast in a baking dish for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. To eat or add to recipe: let cool, then squeeze from the bottom of the garlic head to remove carmelized cloves. After roasted, let the garlic cool then squeeze the cloves out, making sure to remove any of the paper. Use a fork and mash the garlic well until it is creamy and spreadable. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice baguette into 1/2-inch rounds and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake for 8-12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. While the bread is toasting, heat a large skillet oven medium heat. Add remaining olive oil, then toss in brussels sprouts, salt, pepper and nutmeg, tossing well to coat. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warm, wilted, slightly crispy and even a little golden. Stir in grated parmesan cheese, mixing well to coat and turn off heat. Spread a bit of mashed roasted garlic onto each piece of crostini. To serve, top crostini with a spoonful of sprouts, then add a shaving of fresh parmesan cheese and some cracked black pepper.
