Brussels Sprouts Confit
From Michael Solomonov / Serves 4

Ingredients
1 lb. brussels sprouts, halved
1 c. olive oil, divided
Salt, to taste
1/2 c. thinly sliced shallots
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 c. white-wine vinegar

Directions: Preheat grill to high heat. Toss brussels sprouts in 1/4 cup of the olive oil and salt to taste. Grill cut-side down until lightly charred, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined tray. Preheat oven to 275ºF. In a large oven-safe sauté pan, sweat shallots and garlic in about one tablespoon  of olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Layer charred sprouts on top, add white wine vinegar, and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Cover pan with foil, and bake about 2 hours, or until tender. Serve either warm or chilled. Note: This dish can be made up to two weeks in advance; refrigerate until ready to serve.
