Equipment
Ingredients
The Salad⠀⠀
- 2 slices bacon or pancetta, chopped
- 4 cups Brussels sprouts thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon roasted pistachios chopped
- few shavings of Manchego Cheese or Parmigiano Cheese
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar for the poached egg
- 1 egg poached (optional)
The Dressing⠀⠀
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ lemon juiced
- 1 tablespoon honey dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme finely chopped
- ½ tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon shallot minced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water on the stove to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and give the water a swirl with a spoon.
- Gently add one egg and let it poach for four minutes. If you like a hard poached egg let it go for six minutes at least. If you don’t want to poach an egg you can easily fry up an egg as well.
- Take it out and set it aside on paper towel. Cut the brussels sprouts in half and wash them really well. Thinly slice each one with some patience or you can use a food processor as well. In a separate jar add all of the ingredients for the vinaigrette and give it a shake.
- Now you can put a pan on the stove on medium-high heat and fry up the pancetta or bacon until crispy.
- Add in the thinly sliced brussels sprouts. Give it a quick stir and add a touch of salt and pour over the vinaigrette. Let it cook for 30 seconds just to cook off the raw ingredients and take it off the heat.
- The brussels sprouts should not be mushy they should be crispy and have a bite to them. Add them to a bowl with some toasted pistachios or any nut of choice.
- I toasted my pistachios for a few minutes on the stove. Add shavings of Manchego cheese or even Parm and add the poached egg on top. Cracked black pepper on top of the egg is optional. Enjoy
