BBQ Brussels Sprouts Sandwiches with Brussels Sprout Slaw

Jul 01, 2021 06:00AM ● By Justin Fox Burks and Amy Lawrence

Yield: 6 sandwiches

 2 pounds Brussels sprouts

1 cup shredded carrot (about one large)

2 Tbsp mayonnaise

1 Tbsp grainy mustard

Kosher salt and cracked black pepper (to taste)

1 white onion (quartered and sliced)

2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

2 Tbsp of The Chubby Vegetarian's Memphis BBQ Dry Rub (recipe follows)

1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce

6 hamburger buns

First, make the Brussels Sprout Slaw. Thinly slice enough of the Brussels sprouts to have 2 cups. Reserve the remainder of the Brussels sprouts. In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups shredded sprouts with the shredded carrot, mayonnaise, mustard and salt and pepper to taste. Toss until well-incorporated. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve. (Makes about 2 cups of slaw.)

Preheat the grill on high for 10 minutes. Cover the grill with a single later of aluminum foil. Slice the remaining Brussels sprouts in half. In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts and the onion with the sesame oil, vinegar, and BBQ dry rub until everything is coated. Place the Brussels sprouts on the grill for 5 minutes on one side and 4 minutes on the other side, or until the edges are brown and they’re cooked through. Remove sprouts from the grill and place them into a medium bowl. Pour over one cup of your favorite BBQ sauce. Using a spatula, toss the Brussels sprouts in the sauce until they’re well-coated.

Put the BBQ Brussels aside until ready to assemble the sandwiches. On the bottom part of each hamburger bun, pile on the BBQ and top it with the slaw.
