Curried Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Paneer

Brussels sprouts and paneer 1

I grew up almost fearing Brussels sprouts – my parents disliked them so much, we never, ever ate them, and I don’t think I tried one until I was in my twenties. I now adore them in just about any form, but I flipped by this in one of Vikram Vij‘s cookbooks while looking for an interesting thing to do with the paneer I just made, and then kind of winged it, not really following the recipe exactly, shredding the B. sprouts rather than quartering them, and reducing it all a bit longer.

What are you up to this weekend?? I’m flying to London to go to lunch at Fifteen and cook with Jamie Oliver (!!!) Stay tuned!

Curried Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Paneer

Yields1 Serving

6-8 slices bacon, chopped
1 tsp. whole cumin seeds
canola oil, for cooking, if you need it
1 lb Brussels sprouts
1 14 oz (398 mL) can pureed tomatoes
1 Tbsp. ground coriander
2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/4 tsp. salt
pinch cayenne
1/2 lb paneer, cut into 1-inch cubes

1

Cook the bacon in a skillet set over medium-high heat until crisp; remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate, leaving the drippings.

2

Toast the cumin seeds for a minute in the drippings in the pan - add a little oil if you like - and then add the Brussels sprouts, cooking until they're soft and starting to brown a bit on the edges.

3

Add the tomatoes, coriander, cumin, turmeric, salt and cayenne and cook until bubbling and thick; tuck in the paneer and cook for another minute, coating the cheese with the tomato sauce, until everything is heated through and looking like exactly what you want to eat. (Vij instructs to pour the sauce over the paneer, if you want to serve it that way.)

    Ooh, I must try this. I did braised shredded Brussels sprouts in a mustard sauce last Thanksgiving, and it converted my sprouts-hating husband. Have been looking for other recipes that call for braising or sauteeing shredded sprouts.

    This looks and sounds fantastic Julie! I love paneer myself, and how you can fry or roast it in the oven as well in some tasty marinade. I need this! 😀 x

    This looks very yummy and the perfect food for a rainy night. I hope you enjoy Fifteen. We had dinner there a few years ago. Good food but the decor was less than impressive. Maybe it’s a had a makeover! Jamie O is such an “out there” personality and been in so much media, can only think to ask him if there is anything he misses about his naked chef days. Being young and hungry for success can oddly be something you miss when everyone knows your name (or at least thats what I imagine). I think he seems like such a genuinely good person, you two will certainly connect on that level. Cheerio!

    I love how Jamie Oliver wants to make kids eat better in schools. I liked the TED talk he did and showed the audience what a year of a child drinking chocolate milk equivilated to when he brought in a wheelbarrow filled with sugar.
    I would like to know if he is still in contact with the schools he had been working with to see how the revolution is making a differenceÉ

    Have a fab time in London…lunch with the Naked Chef…BRILLIANT! 🙂

    But you are still my fave chef hands down!! 🙂

    My 2 boys (12 and 8) would probably ask Jamie Oliver if rosemary is his favourite herb. We watch his shows A LOT especially around Christmas, and they think he puts it in everything.

    I would thank him for his wonderful cookbooks – I really like how he explains the whole meal, not just one dish.

    Have fun! Does this mean you won’t be at the Best of Bridge dinner next week? Cause I will be!! Thanks to my awesome sister for winning!

    I just found this. Yum! I made it without bacon so I threw in a little smoked paprika and it was awesome! Even my curry traditionalist husband and children who don’t like brussel sprouts liked it!

    Thank you for something new!
