This vibrant vegetarian dish offers a sophisticated way to enjoy Brussels sprouts, pairing their earthy sweetness with creamy cannellini beans and the salty tang of pecorino cheese. By searing the sprouts in two batches, you achieve a beautiful caramelised colour and a nutty depth of flavour that contrasts perfectly with the tender white beans. It is a wonderful alternative to traditional boiled greens and works equally well as a substantial side or a light main course.

Packed with plant-based protein and fibre, this recipe is a healthy choice for a midweek meal or a Sunday roast accompaniment. The addition of a garlic-infused stock reduction creates a rich, savoury glaze that ties the ingredients together. For the best results, use a young, semi-firm pecorino that melts slightly into the warm vegetables to create a truly comforting finish.

Ingredients for Brussels Sprouts with White Beans and Pecorino

120ml olio extravergine d'oliva, diviso
900g brussels sprouts, trimmed, cut in half lengthwise
6 spicchi d'aglio, tritati
240ml brodo di pollo a basso contenuto di sale
1 425g can cannellini (white kidney beans), drained
2 cucchiai (1/4 panetto) di burro
230g (about 110g ) coarsely grated young pecorino (such as a young Pecorino Toscano)

How to make Brussels Sprouts with White Beans and Pecorino

Heat 45ml oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. When just about to smoke, add half of brussels sprouts. Cook until brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Heat 45ml oil in same skillet. Add remaining brussels sprouts, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook until brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer brussels sprouts to same bowl.

Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet; increase heat to high. Add garlic; sauté until brown, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add broth and brussels sprouts. Cook until brussels sprouts are crisp-tender, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Add beans and butter; stir until butter melts and broth is reduced to glaze, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cheese.
