FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
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!

Steps:
- Using a saute pan, preheat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and split in half from top to bottom. When the oil just begins to smoke, carefully add the halved Brussels sprouts to the pan. Saute until they are slightly crispy and brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the Brussels sprouts from the pan and let them drain for about 3 minutes on a dry paper towel.
- In a mixing bowl, place the fried sprouts, frisee, Pickled Red Onion, parsley leaves and radishes and toss. Add the cranberries, crumbled pork rind and Tamarind Vinaigrette. Toss well. Season with the cilantro leaves, seasoning, salt and pepper. Toss again.
- Arrange the salad in a long oval salad bowl. Bring the cilantro leaves to the top of the salad.
- Garnish with the manchego cheese grated over the salad.
- Combine the vinegar, 1/4 cup water, the sugar, oregano, salt, black pepper, pepper flakes, cloves and bay leaf in a heavy medium saucepan and set it over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then add the onion slices, separating them into individual rings. Let the mixture come back to a boil, and then reduce the heat and cook until the onions soften and wilt, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover and let the mixture cool completely. Transfer the onions and their pickling liquid to a quart-size glass jar or divide among plastic containers. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- Add the puree, vinegar and salt to a metal bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil.
FRENCH FRIED ONIONS
A homemade alternative to the Durkee® brand. I use these for casserole recipes. I will never buy store-bought French fried onions again. This recipe makes a lot! I often just use one onion and about 1/2 cup of milk and 1 cup of flour with seasonings if I just want to use them for one dish. Warning: You may have to make what the original recipe calls for because they are so yummy and you won't be able to stop eating them!

Tips:
- Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, bright green sprouts with tightly closed leaves.
- Trim the sprouts: Cut off the brown or wilted outer leaves and the stem end.
- Parboil the sprouts: This helps to tenderize them and reduce their bitterness.
- Use a large skillet: This will help to prevent the sprouts from steaming and will allow them to brown evenly.
- Cook the sprouts over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice caramelized exterior.
- Add the French fried onions towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Season the sprouts to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
- Serve the sprouts hot: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the skillet.
