I love brussels sprouts. I always had them cooked as a kid and liked them drenched in butter. A few years ago I went to the Purple Pig and discovered the wonder of raw brussels sprouts shaved as a salad. It was mild, crispy and creamy. I could have eaten several orders of it. The next week I went home and tried to recreate the recipe. After several tries, I have come to love my own rendition of their delicious salad.
Ingredients:
(makes 6 servings)
1/2 small red onion
4 cups brussels sprouts (use larger sprouts if possible)
1 tsp of sherry vinegar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup finely grated pecorino cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Grate brussels sprouts (I like to use a mandolin)
Grate onion.
Squeeze a 1/2 lemon in the vegetables
Add a 1/2 cup of pecorino cheese
Add 1 tsp of Sherry Vinegar
Add 2 TBS of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste and mix well
Enjoy!

Putting on my Untried List.
RPM Italian makes a brussel sprout salad, as well. This looks good, I'll have to give it a try!
