Brussels Sprout Slaw
In this new take on slaw, shredded brussels sprouts and radicchio are tossed with an assertive dressing, then topped with caramelized pecans. After combining the slaw with the dressing, be sure to let it stand for 15 minutes to slightly wilt the brussels sprouts.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pecan halves
- 1 1/2 tsp. plus 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, plus more, to taste
- 1 tsp. sugar
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 2 lb. brussels sprouts, trimmed and fibrous stems removed
- 1 small head radicchio, quartered and cored
- 2 Tbs. cider vinegar
- 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbs. whole-grain mustard
- 3 Tbs. maple syrup
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat an oven to 350°F.
In a small bowl, combine the pecans, the 1 1/2 tsp. olive oil, the 1/4 tsp. salt, the sugar and cayenne and stir to coat evenly. Transfer to a baking sheet and toast in the oven until browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool.
Using the grater attachment of a food processor, shred the brussels sprouts and radicchio. Transfer to a large bowl and stir to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard and maple syrup. Slowly whisk in the 1/4 cup olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Add half of the dressing to the brussels sprout-radicchio mixture and toss well to combine, adding more dressing as needed. Let stand for 15 minutes to slightly wilt the brussels sprouts. Top with the pecans and serve immediately. Serves 6 to 8.
