How to Make Heston’s Perfect Brussels Sprouts for...
Main Ingredients: Brussels Sprouts, Rashers, Unsalted Butter
Heston Blumenthal is known for his innovative and delicious recipes, and his perfect Brussels sprouts are no exception. With a few simple techniques, you can elevate this humble vegetable into a show-stopping side dish for your next gathering.
To start, you'll need about 2 lbs of Brussels sprouts. Make sure to pick ones that are small and firm, and remove any yellow or wilted leaves. Then, follow Heston's method of cutting a small "X" into the bottom of each sprout. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming bitter.
Next, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the sprouts for about 5 minutes. This will soften them slightly and make them easier to work with. Drain them and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
