Stir-fried Brussels Sprouts Recipe
Even sprout-hating people seem to like this endlessly versatile recipe. If you don't want to use Brussels sprouts, try it with finely shredded cabbage (it's especially good with Savoy cabbage) or kale.
Ingredients
- 500g (1 lb) Brussel sprouts, finely shredded
- 1 small onion, finely sliced
- 2 clove of garlic, finely chopped.
- 100g cubed pancetta or bacon lardons
- Groundnut or vegetable oil
- Fennel seeds
- Dried chillies, torn into small pieces, or finely chopped fresh chilli, to taste
- Lemon juice, to taste
- Salt (freshly ground, or sea salt)
Method
This recipe is all about preparation, as cooking happens very quickly. Have everything close to hand before you begin cooking.
- Heat the groundnut or vegetable oil in a wok or large, deep-sided frying pan.
- When hot, add the pancetta or bacon and fry until it starts to crisp.
- Then, add the finely sliced onion and garlic and fry briefly until they soften.
- Add a scatter of fennel seeds, and dried, torn chillies, as much or as little as you like, and stir in.
- Add finely shredded Brussels sprouts and quickly turn over until everything is mixed in.
- Add lemon juice – a couple of tablespoons is usually enough – and again quickly turn over and mix. Allow to cook for barely two minutes
- Remove from the heat and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Serve as a side dish
Variations on a theme
- Substitute butter for vegetable oil, and white wine for lemon juice.
- Instead of Brussels sprouts, try finely shredded Savoy cabbage or kale.
- Instead of pancetta and fennel, try finely sliced ginger root.
- For Christmas Day, try chopped cooked chestnuts or pecans, chopped dried cranberries and orange juice.
