Such Complex Flavors, You'll Be Amazed It Only Took 15 Minutes

Charring Brussels sprouts adds earthy, caramelized depth, and the addition of orange adds brightness and sweetness to counter the slight bitterness. Miso adds a whop of salty, funky complexity to create a sophisticated side dish in under 15 minutes.

SERVING SIZE: 4-6 PREP TIME: 5 mins COOKING TIME: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. Brussels sprouts, washed and cut in half (quartered if larger)

• 3 Tablespoons olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

• 1½ Tablespoons white miso (I like Miso Master brand)

• Juice of 1 large orange

• 1 crisp D'Anjou pear, cored and sliced ⅛"– ¼" thick

• Kosher salt to taste

Directions

1. Heat a wok or large skillet to medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let heat to a slight smoke (just a minute or so). Add the garlic and stir 1-2 minutes until it begins to brown, yet not burn. Toss in the Brussels sprouts and cook 5-7 minutes until they begin to char on the edges. Use a wooden spoon to toss every few minutes so the sprouts brown evenly. They should be slightly soft on the outside and a little crunchy in the center.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice and miso until fully incorporated.

3. Add the pear to the sprouts. Pour over the miso glaze and toss 1-2 minutes until heated through.

4. Season with Kosher salt to taste.

5. Serve.
