Fried Brussels Sprouts With Walnuts And Capers Recipes

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.

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°F (175°C).
• While the oil is heating, whisk together the garlic, anchovies, serrano chile, red wine vinegar, honey, scallions, walnuts, and extra-virgin olive oil in a bowl large enough to toss all 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 1/2 to 1 minute, remove the contents of the pot with a skimmer and place directly into the bowl of dressing. Toss to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH WALNUTS

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and add the Brussels sprouts. Cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• In a large saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Add the sprouts in 1 layer and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and when melted, add the walnuts and cook, stirring, until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and sprouts, and stir well to coat and warm through.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Serve immediately.

FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CREAMY MUSTARD AND CIDER DRESSING

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, whisk the creme fraiche, mustard, vinegar and honey. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Fill a large deep skillet with 2 to 3 inches canola oil; heat to 350 degrees F over medium-high heat. Add half of the Brussels sprouts in small batches, waiting for the bubbling to subside before adding more; they should begin to sizzle and fry immediately. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the Brussels sprouts with a slotted spoon and place on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Season generously with salt. Repeat with the remaining Brussels sprouts.
• Put the Brussels sprouts on a platter and drizzle with half of the dressing; toss. Season with salt and pepper and top with the apple. Serve with the remaining dressing.

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH WALNUTS AND PECORINO

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife or a mandolin, finely shred the Brussels sprouts. Put them in a large mixing bowl, add the grated carrot and toss to combine.
• Whisk together the lemon zest and juice, the yuzu juice, honey, mustard and some salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to emulsify. Toss the vegetables with the dressing and season with some salt and pepper. Toss again with the walnuts and Pecorino and serve.
