FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Remove brown outer leaves of brussel sprouts. Cut the brussel sprouts in half. NOTE: Original recipe left brussel sprouts whole. It's your choice to cut in half or leave whole.
• In sauce pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the brussel sprouts and fry, stirring occasionally, until very dark brown, almost charred, but NOT burnt.
• The last minute of cooking, add the garlic and stir in to combine. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
• Season to taste with salt, white pepper and lemon juice if using. Serve warm.

FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH FISH SAUCE CARAMEL

Steps:

• For the fish sauce caramel: Combine granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan and cook, without stirring, over medium-low heat, until the mixture is nicely amber colored, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and CAREFULLY add brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and salt; it may splatter. Stir to combine. If the mixture seizes, return to low heat and stir until fully incorporated.
• For the Brussels sprouts: Bring oil to 350 degrees F in a deep-fryer. Trim bottoms of sprouts and halve lengthwise.
• Fry sprouts until they are crispy with some char, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.
• While still hot, toss with fish sauce caramel, garnish with Garlic Chips, red chiles and fresh lime wedges.
• Bring oil to 350 degrees F.
• Thinly slice garlic cloves. Quickly fry to a light golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. (Don't let them get dark brown, or they will become bitter.) Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.

• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the creme fraiche, mustard, vinegar and honey. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In a straight-sided shallow saute pan, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts; they should begin to sizzle and fry immediately. Continue to cook, rotating the Brussels sprouts on all sides, until crispy, about 5 minutes.
• Drain the Brussels sprouts and toss in enough vinaigrette to dress them. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 inches of oil over medium-high. When oil reaches 360 degrees on a thermometer, carefully add 1/3 of the brussels sprouts. Cook, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray with a slotted spoon and sprinkle with salt. Fry remaining sprouts in batches, returning oil to 360 degrees between each batch. Add shallots and chiles to oil and fry until slightly wrinkled and just beginning to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to tray with sprouts.
• Whisk lime juice and maple syrup in a large bowl. Add brussels sprouts, shallots, and chiles, tossing to coat evenly in lime mixture. Season with more salt to taste. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers, and cook garlic, stirring often, until golden brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in onion and cook until soft, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts to the skillet and cook without stirring until the undersides of the sprouts turn golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir to turn sprouts over, and cook other sides until golden brown, another 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

CRISPY FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with a few inches of vegetable oil. Fit with a thermometer and heat oil to 400ºF. Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a pan, add vegetable oil and garlic over medium heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until garlic is barely golden. Add honey and the sugar and then lemon juice, zest and rice vinegar. Whisk together and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Whisk in the Sriracha and remove from heat. Season to taste with kosher salt.When the oil is 400ºF, add 1/2 of the Brussels sprouts and turn the heat to high. Stir sprouts while they are frying. When they float to the top and have a nice golden brown color, about 3 minutes, remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper-towel-lined sheet tray. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt and bring oil temperature back to 400ºF. Add remaining half of the sprouts to the oil and repeat the process, adding the chilis in the last minute of frying the second batch.Add all of the sprouts and chili to a bowl and drizzle with the sauce right before serving hot.Note: The temperature of the oil is very important. If the temperature is low or the Brussels sprouts are cold or damp, it will bring the temperature down too low and the sprouts will be soggy, not crispy!

MACRITCHIE'S FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Check brussels sprouts for old, tough outer leaves and remove. Slice them in half, especially if they are larger than golf balls.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium to medium high heat. Add the sprouts.
• Fry the sprouts, making sure both sides are browned. Sear them so they are quite dark, then reduce the heat and continue to cook about 5 minutes, shaking the pan periodically.
• Add the garlic and when the pan has cooled to medium low heat. Then add the basil, salt and pepper.
• Spill a little water in the pan, enough to make a steam, and cover with a lid for the last three minutes to be sure the sprouts are tender.
• Put in a serving dish and sprinkle with a little lemon juice if desired.

FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH WALNUTS AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into a medium pot so that the oil comes 3 inches up the sides. Heat the oil to 350 degrees.
• While the oil is heating, whisk together the garlic, anchovies, serrano, red wine vinegar, honey, scallions, walnuts and extra-virgin olive oil in a bowl large enough to toss all of the Brussels sprouts. Keep the bowl near the stovetop.
• Working in batches, deep-fry the Brussels sprouts until the edges begin to curl and brown, about 3 minutes. To the last batch, add the parsley and capers (stand back-the capers will pop and sputter!). Give the contents of the pot a stir. When the color of the parsley becomes a deeper, more saturated shade of green, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, remove the contents of the pot with a skimmer and place directly in the bowl of dressing. Toss to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

SUPERB STIR FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat your wok over high heat until very hot, add the olive oil and swirl around once.
• Now add the garlic and stir fry for a few seconds to scent the oil.
• Immediately tip in the sprouts (before the garlic has a chance to burn) and stir fry constantly for about 4 minutes until the sprouts are cooked-you are aiming for tenderness with a residual crunch.
• Stir in the sun dried tomato strips, the lemon zest and lemon juice to taste; then stir fry for a final 30 seconds or so.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.

CHEESY FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Wash sprouts off, peel first couple leaves off outside, cut small piece off bottoms and then lightly cut an X into the bottom of each sprout.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the sprouts until they are almost done. Then put them into an ice bath until they are cold(this will stop the cooking process and prevent them getting mushy) . Drain them and set aside.
• When ready for dinner, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Beat eggs in a small bowl with a little water.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat with some olive oil.
• Dunk drained sprouts in egg, let as much drain off as possible, then toss in the bread crumb/cheese mixture, pressing the crumbs lightly onto the sprouts.
• Pan cook the sprouts in the oil till golden brown and delicious.
