As part of our "12 Days of Thanksgiving" countdown, Chef Dan Kluger of Loring Place in NYC—a favorite restaurant of Rach and John's—shares his secret for restaurant-quality Brussels sprouts with mustard vinaigrette in this recipe from his new cookbook Chasing Flavor.
"When I cook Brussels sprouts—and I cook a lot of sprouts—I want them to be juicy and tender on the inside and crispy on the outside," Dan says. "It’s those contrasting textures that make them so fun to eat. But so many roasted sprouts recipes have you do all of the cooking in the oven, which will give you plenty of caramelization, but usually dries up the inside of the sprouts as well. The best way to get the right texture on your sprouts is to first blanch them until they’re not quite tender, then cut them in half and finish them in a skillet, which gives you more control over the browning process."
Dan uses Colman's Dry Mustard Powder to intensify the flavor in his mustard vinaigrette.

Ingredients
For the Mustard Vinaigrette:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 ¼ teaspoons dry mustard powder (Dan likes Colman's)
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
For the Pickled Red Finger Chiles:
- 4 red finger chiles
- Red wine vinegar
For serving:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped Pickled Red Onions
- Flaky salt
Yield
Serves: 4
Preparation
For the Mustard Vinaigrette, in a medium bowl, combine the honey and mustard powder. Blend with a fork until well mixed, then let stand for 10 minutes to bloom the mustard. Whisk in the lemon juice, whole-grain mustard, Dijon mustard, and salt. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. The dressing can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated until ready to use.
For the Pickled Red Finger Chiles, thinly slice the chiles crosswise and discard the stems. Place in a small sterilized jar or storage container and cover with red wine vinegar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours before using. The pickled chiles will keep for about 2 weeks.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil and prepare an ice bath. Working in batches, add the Brussels sprouts and blanch until slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the ice bath to cool, then transfer to paper towels to drain. Once all of the sprouts have been blanched, cut them in half lengthwise and pat dry with towels.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary (don’t crowd the pan), add the sprouts, cut-side down, and cook until well browned on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir and continue cooking until tender and caramelized all over, about 5 minutes longer. Return all of the sprouts to the pan and add the butter and rosemary, tossing until the butter has melted and coated the sprouts.
Add enough mustard vinaigrette to cover the bottom of a serving bowl (about ⅓ cup). Top with the sprouts and sprinkle with the pickled onions and 1 tablespoon finely chopped pickled finger chiles. Season with flaky salt and serve.
