FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Fried Brussels Sprouts image

Like fried cabbage? Then you are in for a treat. This is easy and most kids are actually surprised that it tastes better than it looks! I add about 2 tablespoons sugar simply to soften the taste and make my kids happy. But it is delicious without the sugar, and when I leave it out, I don't tell them and they never say a word!

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups Brussels sprouts, outer leaves trimmed, then halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the olive oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and light brown. Add the Brussels sprouts and turn heat to medium-high. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 2. Do not disturb for about a minute, so the edges caramelize, then toss. Leave for another minute or more. If the sprouts have not picked up enough golden color toss again. The more caramelization (browning) you get, the better the flavor (high heat is key!). Be careful not to overcook, though, as that releases that nasty sulfur odor that puts people off Brussels sprouts.
  • 3. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Three 2 1/2- to 3-pound whole chickens
1 lemon, quartered
Peels from 2 oranges, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 cups Orange-Hoisin Glaze, recipe follows
Wok-Fried Bacon Brussels Sprouts, recipe follows, for serving
Horseradish Mashed Potatoes, recipe follows, for serving
1 cup chili powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons celery salt
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons Chinese five-spice powder
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon red chile flakes
1 tablespoon yellow curry powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups orange juice
10 ounces hoisin
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
1 orange, rind peeled (no white pith) and juiced
1 lemon, rind peeled (no white pith) and juiced
1 lime, rind peeled (no white pith) and juiced
1 stalk lemongrass, cut down the middle and bruised using the back of a knife
1 small jalapeno, sliced
1 thumb-size piece fresh ginger, sliced
2 cups canola oil
2 cups brussels sprouts, halved
1 tablespoon bacon fat
1 tablespoon cooked bacon, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 small carrot, thinly sliced or small-diced
1 tablespoon reduced balsamic
1 tablespoon store-bought kimchee
1 tablespoon thinly sliced Thai basil
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 sprig rosemary
1 sprig thyme
2 tablespoons creme fraiche or sour cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon horseradish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Pour half the contents of each beer can into a shallow roasting pan, then set the cans upright in the pan.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the butter with the Three's BBQ Dry Rub and set aside. Rinse the chickens and pat dry. Generously rub chickens inside and out with the seasoned butter, being sure to stuff some butter under the skin as well. Put one lemon quarter in each cavity and then slide the chickens over the beer cans. Add the orange peels to the pan. Roast for 1 hour.
  • Pull the pan from the oven and generously ladle the Orange-Hoisin Glaze over the chickens. Return to the oven and cook until the glaze has caramelized and turned a dark golden amber, about 25 minutes. When done, the internal temperature of the thigh meat should register 160 degrees F. Let the chickens rest, lightly tented with foil, for about 15 minutes. Carefully cut out the back bone of each chicken and cut the breast down the center.
  • Serve a half-chicken per person, with Wok-Fried Bacon Brussels Sprouts and Horseradish Mashed Potatoes on the side. Strain the pan drippings and ladle over the chicken prior to serving.
  • In a bowl, mix together the chili powder, brown sugar, celery salt, cinnamon, coriander, five-spice powder, oregano, garlic, chile flakes, curry powder, nutmeg, 4 tablespoons kosher salt and 2 tablespoons black pepper. Store in a sealed container.
  • In a medium saucepot over medium-high heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Add the orange juice, hoisin, garlic, onions, orange rind and juice, lemon rind and juice, lime rind and juice, lemongrass, jalapeno and ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • In a deep saucepot, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the brussels sprouts until the edges start to turn golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove with a spider and drain on paper towels.
  • In a medium wok or saute pan over medium-high heat, add the bacon fat and bacon. Then add the ginger, garlic, carrots and fried brussels sprouts; stir-fry for about 3 minutes. Add the balsamic and kimchee and cook, tossing, until everything is evenly glazed. Turn off the heat and add the basil. Divide into 4 portions and garnish with Parmesan.
  • Fill a large pot with 1 gallon of water. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rolling simmer (medium-low heat) and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the whipping cream, garlic, rosemary and thyme and in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the cream is infused, about 10 minutes. Strain and keep warm.
  • Drain the potatoes when they are done and return them to the pot over low heat. Using a potato masher, mash in the infused cream, creme fraiche, butter, horseradish, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper until just combined.

FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Fried Brussels Sprouts image

The brussels sprouts should be thoroughly dry before frying. Any water clinging to the sprouts will cause the oil to splatter. The oil takes time to come up to temperature, so get that heating on the stove top before prepping the other ingredients.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable oil, for frying
1 pound brussels sprouts, halved lengthwise (4 cups)
Kosher salt
3 small shallots, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds (1/2 cup)
2 Fresno or red finger chiles, thinly sliced into rounds (1/3 cup)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

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.

FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH WALNUTS AND CAPERS



Fried Brussels Sprouts with Walnuts and Capers image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 19m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Canola oil, for deep-frying
1 clove garlic, minced
4 salt-packed anchovy fillets, rinsed, filleted and minced
1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced on the bias
1/2 cup walnut pieces, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered lengthwise
2 cups loosely packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 tablespoons salt-packed capers, rinsed and patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

STIR-FRIED TURKEY AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Stir-Fried Turkey and Brussels Sprouts image

A stir-fry is always a great way to use a little bit of leftover meat with a lot of vegetables. This one is quickly accomplished because the turkey is already cooked and it's thrown into the colorful, gingery mix at the last minute. Once you add the turkey it's important to stir-fry only long enough to heat the turkey through or it will be dry and stringy. If you are making this just after Thanksgiving and you happen to have leftover Brussels sprouts too, then you can reduce the cooking time even more, adding them along with the turkey after you've stir-fried the red peppers, and just stir-frying to heat through.

FRIED GREEN BEANS, SCALLIONS AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BUTTERMILK-CORNMEAL COATING



Fried Green Beans, Scallions and Brussels Sprouts With Buttermilk-Cornmeal Coating image

This buttermilk batter fries up to a fluffy/crispy coating. When I was deciding what vegetables I wanted to coat and fry with this batter I knew that I would use scallions and green beans. (I used green beans with almost all of my recipe tests this week) Then I found a half-pound of brussels sprouts that had seen better days in my crisper. I trimmed off the yellowing outer leaves, quartered them, gave them a dunk in the batter and eased them into the hot oil. Now I will never throw out old brussels sprouts again. Okra would also be a good choice for this recipe. You can serve these plain or with any number of dips, either spicy (think Sriracha or chipotle aioli) or Japanese.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, snack, vegetables, appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons fine polenta or cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus additional for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup less 2 tablespoons buttermilk or yogurt thinned with milk
3 tablespoons cold sparkling water
1/2 pound green beans
1/2 pound brussels sprouts
2 bunches scallions
Canola or grapeseed oil for frying

Steps:

  • Combine cornstarch, polenta or cornmeal, salt and baking powder in a bowl and whisk together. Add buttermilk and sparkling water and whisk together until mixture is blended and has the consistency of thick cream.
  • Top and tail beans. Trim brussels sprouts and quarter. Trim root end off the scallions and cut away dark green ends.
  • Pour oil into a wok or wide saucepan to a depth of 3 inches and heat over medium-high heat to 360 to 375 degrees. Set up a sheet pan with a rack on it next to the pan. Cover rack with a few layers of paper towels. Have a spider or deep fry skimmer handy for removing vegetables from the oil.
  • Using tongs, dip vegetables into batter a few at a time, making sure to coat thoroughly. Transfer to hot oil and fry until golden brown, which should not take more than a couple of minutes. Flip over halfway through with the spider to make sure the coating is evenly fried. It is important not to crowd pan and to let oil come back up to temperature between batches.
  • Using the spider, remove vegetables from oil, allowing excess oil to drip back into pan, and drain on towel-covered rack. Sprinkle with salt right away if desired. Allow to cool slightly and serve.

Amiah cooked this at Thanksgiving three years ago and it was such a hit, she made it again at Christmas for her...

These fabulous veggies are so good for you, but not so appealing if just steamed. I found a recipe on recipezaar.com and modified it a little.

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces Brussels sprouts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 sprig sweet basil, chopped
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

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.

Tips:

  • To ensure your Brussels sprouts are evenly cooked, try to select sprouts that are all about the same size.
  • Before frying, pat the Brussels sprouts dry with a paper towel. This will help them to brown and crisp up nicely.
  • To add some extra flavor to your Brussels sprouts, try tossing them with a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper before frying.
  • If you want your Brussels sprouts to be extra crispy, try double-frying them. First, fry them for a few minutes until they are golden brown. Then, remove them from the oil and let them cool slightly. Then, fry them again for a few more minutes until they are crispy all the way through.
  • Serve your fried Brussels sprouts immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
