Ingredients
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds Brussels sprouts, halved and very thinly sliced with a mandoline or sharp knife (7 to 8 cups total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup raw unsalted shelled pistachios
2 rosemary sprigs
2 lemons, zested and juiced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
One 4-ounce piece Parmigiano-Reggiano, crumbled or thinly shaved
Sumac, for serving, optional
Directions
Special equipment:
Mandoline- Heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups of the Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then place on a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon to remove any excess oil. Wipe out the skillet.
- Heat the remaining 1/4 olive oil over medium-low heat in the skillet. Add the pistachios and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pistachios are toasted and golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and discard the rosemary sprigs. Transfer the pistachios with a slotted spoon to a cutting board to cool, season with salt and pepper, then chop finely. Pour the oil from the skillet into a medium heatproof bowl and let cool.
- Add the lemon juice and zest to the medium bowl and whisk to combine. Season the dressing with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Combine the cooked Brussels sprouts with the raw Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Add the pistachios, cranberries and cheese; season with salt and pepper. Add the dressing and toss to combine. Top with sumac and enjoy.
