Brussels Sprouts, Flash Curried

fluffernutter's Note:

Sprouts are sort of flash fried, or stir-fried, or pan-seared, then flavored with curry. I can get the family to eat sprouts this way, and only this way. You can make it with fresh sprouts, too, but I haven't ever done so.

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 2 lbs Brussels sprouts , thawed or cooked and cooled
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon garam masala powder

Directions:

1. Heat the oil in an iron skillet or wok or other heavy-bottom saute pan or Dutch oven until very hot but not smoking.
2. Add the sprouts and sear them, stirring often, until they are sort of flash-fried. If they dry out and seem ready to burn, add a couple of tablespoons of water.
3. Add the salt and test a sprout for doneness.
4. Stir in the curry powder and cook 5 minutes longer.

Mmmmm good!! Made this for PAC 2007 and was a great side dish to Smoky Almond Chicken. Never would have thought to use garam masala with brussels sprouts - it is a great combination! Used a little less oil and some sea salt. Thanks fluffernutter!
