BRUSSELS SPROUTS, FLASH CURRIED

Brussels Sprouts, Flash Curried image

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

3 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb brussel sprouts, outer leaves removed and halved lengthwise
1/4 tsp black mustard seeds
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/8 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
1 small bay leaf
1/8 tsp garam masala
1/8 tsp ground coriander
4 clove garlic, minced
2-inch piece gingerroot, peeled and minced
1 medium red onion, peeled and chopped
1 ripe tomato, chopped
2 tsp kosher salt
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

1. Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil on high in a large skillet with a lid. Add Brussels sprouts, cut side down. Turn the heat down to medium and let the sprouts brown, 5 minutes. Stir and cover; let steam another 5 minutes. Take the sprouts off the heat, remove from pan and let cool.
2. Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in the same skillet, toss in the whole cumin seeds and the mustard seeds till fragrant, 20 seconds. Stir in the remaining spices and heat for another five seconds.
3. Add the garlic, ginger, and onion and cook on medium high heat, stirring occasionally till translucent, 6 minutes.
4. Add the tomatoes and cook on medium high heat till the onions start to caramelize and the tomatoes are reduced, 7 minutes.
5. Add the remaining olive oil and stir.
6. Add the browned Brussels sprouts and season with salt. Let cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
7. Remove from heat, top with the chopped cilantro and serve warm.

Tips:

Choose small, firm Brussels sprouts. These will cook more evenly and have a better texture than larger sprouts. Look for Brussels sprouts that are about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

Trim the Brussels sprouts properly. Use a sharp knife to remove the tough outer leaves and the stem end of each Brussels sprout. Be careful not to cut into the sprout itself.

Parboil the Brussels sprouts before roasting. This will help them to cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming dry. To parboil the Brussels sprouts, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the sprouts. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the sprouts and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil and seasonings before roasting. This will help them to caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. You can use any seasonings you like, but some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Roast the Brussels sprouts at a high temperature. This will help them to caramelize and brown quickly. Roast the sprouts at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.

Serve the Brussels sprouts warm. You can garnish them with chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives.
