Here is one of my favorite Brussels Sprout recipes: Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta Ingredients * 3 tablespoons olive oil * 1/2 pound sliced pancetta, diced * 4 shallots, thinly sliced * 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved * 8 baby Yukon gold potatoes, quartered * Salt and freshly ground pepper * 2 tablespoons unsalted butter * 1 lemon, juiced Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Heat oil over medium heat in a roasting pan or large skillet. Add the pancetta and cook until golden brown and crisp.
Remove the pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels. Add the shallots to the pan and cook until soft. Add the Brussels sprouts and potatoes and toss to combine.
Season with salt and pepper and roast in the oven until the vegetables are cooked through and golden brown. Remove the vegetables from the oven and stir in the butter and lemon juice. Transfer to a platter and top with the reserved pancetta.
I needed to use up a few ingredients I had on hand before leaving for a trip to Big Sur last week (more on that later, I promise). I ended up throwing together what might become a new favorite meal on the fly - caramelized strips of tofu served over sauteed shredded brussels sprouts. I made it again yesterday for lunch so I could take a snapshot and share it with you.
Here's how it came together: a quick survey of my kitchen revealed tofu and a cluster of brussels sprouts. There was also a vibrant bouquet of cilantro tucked into the refrigerator door begging to be used. I scanned the cupboards and pulled down a small bag of (already toasted!) pecans and the remnants of a once full bag of my favorite sugar.
Just a few minutes of knife work and a some fast work with a hot pan separated me from my dinner. I cooked the tofu first, then finished with the brussels sprouts. It worked out nicely that only one pan was dirtied in the process.
Some variations come to mind - throw in some nutty, chewy brown rice.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
