Transforming Brussels Sprouts into Culinary Delights
In a delightful collaboration with @goodfoodoxford, rebelrecipes presents three simple yet incredibly tasty methods to elevate Brussels sprouts from a simple side dish to a mealtime star. These recipes highlight the versatility and nutritional benefits of seasonal sprouts, proving they can be both affordable and packed with fiber.
Sprout & Sweetcorn Fritters
Achieve crispy, golden fritters perfect for dipping. This recipe combines shredded sprouts, sweetcorn, and spring onions with plain flour, garlic granules, salt, pepper, and lemon juice, bound together with water to form a thick batter. Pan-fry or air-fry until golden brown. For added sweetness, incorporate grated carrot. These fritters are also excellent served cold in lunchboxes or with chili jam.
Sesame Sprout Stir-Fry
A quick, garlicky, and intensely flavorful stir-fry. Shredded sprouts are cooked with minced garlic in sesame oil, then tossed with soy sauce or tamari and a touch of maple syrup (optional). Finished with sesame seeds and chili flakes, this dish is perfect served over noodles. Enhance the protein content with tofu or chickpeas. A squeeze of lemon juice can brighten the overall flavor profile.
Crunchy Sprout Slaw
A fresh and creamy slaw that complements roasts or wraps beautifully. Shredded sprouts are mixed with grated carrot and optional cranberries. The dressing is a simple whisk of yogurt or mayonnaise, lemon juice, and seasoning. Toss everything together and chill for 10 minutes. For added texture, consider adding toasted nuts. This slaw keeps well for up to two days.
These recipes aim to make Brussels sprouts exciting, fresh, and bursting with flavor. rebelrecipes asks, “Which one are you trying first?”
