This bizarre French customer habit is driving shop owners crazy
Forget everything you know about the unappealing smell and bitter taste often associated with Brussels sprouts. This recipe will transform your kitchen into a fragrant haven that everyone will enjoy.
For many, Brussels sprouts are as uninviting as endives or celery due to their strong smell and bitter taste when not cooked properly. However, Mathilde Ratinaud, known as @eatsmathilde on social media, has discovered a miraculous recipe that will change your mind about this much-maligned vegetable. “If you cook them this way, you’re going to find them really tasty,” she promises in her video.
Mathilde’s approach does not involve boiling the Brussels sprouts. Instead, she starts by browning them in a pan. Then, she places them in a pie dish with shallots and guanciale, covering everything with puff pastry to create a delicious savory Tatin tart that will leave your kitchen smelling wonderful. Even the Brussels sprouts themselves would be surprised at how pampered they are. Ready to give it a try?
Ingredients for Brussels Sprouts Tatin Tart
- 500 g of Brussels sprouts
- 3 shallots
- 200 g of guanciale
- 2 tbsp of whole grain mustard
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- Thyme, rosemary
- 2 tbsp of honey
- 1 tbsp of soy sauce
- 20 g of butter
How to Prepare Brussels Sprouts Tatin Tart
1. Start by slicing the Brussels sprouts in half and browning them in a skillet with some olive oil, cut side down. Add a generous splash of hot water, cover, and cook until they are slightly tender, then set aside.
2. In the same skillet, sauté the guanciale, cut into small strips, along with the finely chopped shallots. Add the herbs and mustard, then remove from heat and set aside.
3. In a bowl, melt the butter with the honey and soy sauce in the microwave. Use a brush to spread this mixture on the bottom of a pie dish.
4. Place the Brussels sprouts in the dish, rounded side down. Spread the guanciale and shallot mixture over the sprouts.
5. Cover with the puff pastry, tucking the edges inside the dish. Brush the pastry with an egg yolk using a pastry brush, then prick it several times with a fork.
6. Bake in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30 to 35 minutes.
Once the pastry is golden brown, it’s ready! Mathilde suggests, “Unmold immediately, add dollops of stracciatella cheese, some roasted hazelnuts, and a good twist of black pepper.” With these cooking techniques and flavor combinations, you’ll now enjoy Brussels sprouts in a whole new way.
