Roasted Brussel sprouts with bulgur and sunny side up eggs

March 16, 2017 By Mandarina Leave a Comment

Do you like Brussels sprouts? I started to cook Brussels sprouts only recently and I love them so much. They’re just adorable and so easy to clean and cook.


I love Brussels sprouts roasted with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. While roasting they caramelize, soften just enough and become nutty and crispy. My favourite combination of roasted Brussels sprouts is with bulgur and eggs. It makes the perfect dinner in no time. The combination of textures and flavours is stunning.

Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

Brussels sprouts

  • 500 g Brussels sprouts
  • 2 tbs lemon juice
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Grated hard cheese (optional)
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Bulgur

  • 1 & ¾ cups brown bulgur
  • 3 & ½ cups water
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 2 tbs butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Eggs

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 – 2 tbs olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

Directions

Brussel sprouts

  1.  Preheat the oven at 220 degrees Celsius.
  2. Trim bottom of Brussels sprouts, remove any outer leaves if necessary and clean under running water. Dry them using kitchen paper.
  3. Slice each Brussels sprout in half top to bottom.
  4. Put the sprouts in big bowl and add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and sesame seeds if using.
  5. Toss them well and place them in a pan in one layer.
  6. Cook in the preheated oven at 220 degrees Celsius, until sprouts begin to brown, about 20-30 minutes.
  7. Add the grated cheese if using. Their heat will melt the cheese and give a nice texture.
  8. Taste, and add more salt and pepper if necessary.

Bulgur

  1. While the Brussels sprouts are roasting cook the bulgur.
  2. Place the bulgur in a saucepan with water over high heat.
  3. Once it starts to boil lower the heat and let it cook for around 15 minutes. After this time it should have absorbed most of the liquids.
  4. Add salt, butter and olive oil and cook for another 5-10 minutes until all the liquid has been absorbed and the bulgur is cooked but is still a little al dente.
  5. Add a little pepper at the end if you like.

Eggs

  1. Add the olive oil in a non-stick skillet set over medium-low. When the olive oil is hot gently pour the eggs in the skillet.
  2. Cook until the white is opaque and the yolk has set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper as desired.

Assemble the dish

  1. Place the bulgur and roasted Brussels sprouts in a dish next to each other.
  2. Put the cooked egg on top.
  3. Enjoy while still warm.

Notes

Note: 1 cup – a standard cup of 240 ml

Welcome to Mandarina Yum!

mmMy name is Ejona Varangu and I am a full time researcher in the telecommunication industry, and part time food blogger. I blog from a small apartment in Tirana, Albania, where I live with my better half and our two cats Weirdo and Pixel.

I started cooking in late 2013, when I decided to live alone, and I missed the great homemade dishes that my mum prepared, before that, I couldn’t even boil an egg by myself. Little by little I started experimenting with new ingredients and techniques and I loved every single minute of it. Find out more…
