PAN FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

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 PAN FRIED BRUSSEL SPROUTS RECIPE WITH BACON AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Place the bacon slices onto a large, cold saute pan on the stove. Turn heat to medium. Fry bacon for a few minutes on each side, until crispy.
• Remove bacon and set aside to drain on paper towels. Leave the bacon grease in the pan.
• Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil to the pan and swirl around. Add brussels sprouts. Season with sea salt and black pepper, and stir to distribute.
• Increase heat to medium-high. Arrange brussels sprouts in a single layer in the pan, with as many surfaces touching the pan as possible. Sear for about 3-4 minutes, without moving, until well browned on the bottom. Flip or stir, and repeat on the other side. Repeat as necessary to brown all sprouts.
• Meanwhile, chop the bacon while waiting for the sprouts to brown.
• Add balsamic vinegar and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Return chopped bacon to the pan.

PAN-FRIED SPROUTS & CRUNCHY CHORIZO CRUMBS

Steps:

• Tip the bread into a food processor and pulse into crumbs. Add the chorizo and pulse again to combine. Heat a little of the oil in a large frying pan, and cook the chorizo crumbs gently for 20 mins, drizzling with more oil if the pan becomes dry, until the chorizo has released its fat and becomes crisp and the crumbs are toasted. Scoop out onto a plate. Will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day.
• Heat the butter in the frying pan until foaming, then cook the sprouts gently for 15 mins, turning occasionally until golden and slightly charred. Toss in the crumbs and cook for a minute to heat through, then serve.
