Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Walu

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Season the Walu fillets with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Place them in the smoker and smoke for approximately 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  2. 2

    Cook the Brussels Sprouts

    While the Walu is smoking, wash and halve the Brussels sprouts. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped applewood smoked bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon, leaving the fat in the pan. Add the Brussels sprouts and minced garlic, cooking until the sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in the bacon and season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Make the Beurre Rouge

    In a saucepan, combine the red wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer until reduced by half. Whisk in the butter, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is smooth and glossy. Season with salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, place a generous serving of the Brussels sprouts choucroute, top with the smoked Walu fillet, and drizzle with the beurre rouge sauce. Serve immediately.
