Fried Brussels Sprouts

Cookgirl's Note:

I've only eaten brussel sprouts steamed, until I found this recipe. This is from my mom's 500 Low-Carb Recipes' cookbook by Dana Carpender. I added the lemon juice. This recipe has lots of possibilities!

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 lb Brussels sprout
• 4 -6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
• lemon juice, my addition, for garnish (optional)
• salt, to taste
• white pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. The last minute of cooking, add the garlic and stir in to combine. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
4. Season to taste with salt, white pepper and lemon juice if using. Serve warm.

This was tasty and easy. However, if you are not a fan of brussel sprouts, I don't think this will convert you. However, for those of us who are, this was a nice treat. Made for ZWT6.

I was not able to get mine as brown as I wanted but I think that may have been because I used frozen brussels. I followed the recipe exactly other thatn that, they were still very good. They wer soft and flavorful. I will continue to make them this way even if I never am able to get them to brown. I added the joice of half a lemon, yummy.

Yum! Enjoyed these for dinner tonight. Easy and delicious. Didn't add the lemon juice. A faster alternative to roasting. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
