Shaved Raw Brussels Sprouts with Castelrosso
- 2 pints brussel sprouts
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
- 1 cup crumbled Castelrosso cheese (about 4 ounces)
- Black pepper
- Discard any dark or limp leaves from the brussel sprouts and trim off their bottoms.
- Cut the sprouts in half through the core and then slice them crosswise, taking time to slice them as thin as possible.
- We call them "shaved" raw Brussels sprouts, which says how thin we like them, so make sure you use a sharp knife.
- Transfer the brussel sprouts to a mixing bowl.
- (You can shave the Brussels sprouts up to a couple of hours in advance and keep them covered in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve them.)
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and white pepper in a large, wide mixing bowl.
- Add the shredded brussel sprouts to the bowl by the handful, tossing all the while.
- Once you've dressed the sprouts, portion them out into salad bowls, top each salad with 1/4 cup of the crumbled cheese, and serve.
- Offer black pepper from the grinder at the table.
