Question

Belisa Burns

Where is the recipe for the brussels sprouts assignment that you mentioned in your office hours a month ago. You referred to a white balsamic glaze that sounds delicious. I got one of those “Microplane cutters’”that you showed us ?

Answer

Oh, I hope you love the microplane cutter. I think it hold on a second. She was referring to this made by the microplane company. It is perfect for cutting brussels sprouts. I'm sure Melissa that it made your assignment go really really quickly and I hope that you enjoyed that so the Brussels sprouts assignment is under roasting vegetables in Rouxbe. So if you type in the queue roasting vegetables Rouxbe and it's where you have a choice of either doing brussel sprouts or cauliflower or whichever and maybe Richard can find that and put it up for you. The trick of that recipe. Melissa is the placement on the roasting pan of your vegetables that they do not touch that they are about an inch apart from each other that they are lined up in a beautiful array and that you follow the proper oven temperature which by the way, if you do not have an oven thermometer for your oven, you may want to get one they're very reasonable but they sort of help to verify the temperature of your oven the readout the LCD readout might say 400 degrees, but your oven might be cooking slower at maybe 375 so it's good to have that. Verification and then you can adjust the heat of your oven as needed
