Brussels Sprouts with Caramelized Onions
Given how enamored we are with Brussels sprouts, we are happy to create new recipes to ensure we maintain this love affair for as long as possible. This version is based on the sweet and fragrant flavors of caramelized onions that when added create a slightly sweet flavor offset by the sea salt.
Cut all the Brussels sprouts in half so you have one flat surface per half. Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
Place olive oil in a crock-pot on stove and heat, and then add finely diced onions and sauté until golden brown on medium heat for approximately 15 minutes, stirring to ensure all onions are evenly cooked.
Add the Brussels sprouts and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper, then cover with a lid and place in the oven for approximately 15 minutes, half way through toss them to ensure all sides are cooked evenly.
The sprouts should be tender on the outside and a little crunchy on the inside.
Rony Zibara
Editor-In-Chief and the gourmand-gourmet behind Poetry of Food; a food memoir which has been in preparation since he was a child. His earliest memories are in the kitchen with his mother cooking French and Lebanese dishes, and with his South American grandmother making Spanish dishes as the cook prepared a repertoire of salsas and sauces. Having grown up in Beirut and lived between Paris, Toronto and now New York, Rony’s food and travel experiences have always been part of his personal cuisine. An avid storyteller, he believes it’s not about the size of the catch, but about the day. It’s the experience, the setting, the people, and most importantly, the ingredients that turn the meal and the flavors into a memory. While not a professionally trained chef, Rony is a cook by all counts; his life revolves around the culinary joys of food, searching out new ingredients, new recipes, and new cultures. And while he loves the restaurant scene, he is not an obsessed follower. Rony’s food passions lie in the poetry of the everyday meal and not in the pursuit of the absolute ‘best’ or perfect meal. His extensive career in innovating and branding new products and experiences has been a great support and backdrop for his passions in food culture and is evident in the overall design and presentation of this food memoir.
