Name of Recipe:
Aria's Fried Brussels Sprouts

Number of People:
Serves 4-6 (as a side)

This recipe is so delicious, I had to share!  I've converted it (well, sort of - it's not exactly complicated!) from an article in The Courier Mail last week, publishing the recipe by chef, Ben Russell.

Ingredients:

*  600g brussels sprouts, scored
*  200ml vegetable oil

Dressing
*  90ml grapeseed oil
*  160ml soy sauce
*  90ml rice wine vinegar
*  6g caster sugar
*  4g salt
*  2g black peppercorns
*  300g shallots, peeled
*  Sesame oil, to taste

Garnish
*  80g fried shallots (from Asian section in supermarket)
*  20g mint, finely sliced (or chopped in TMX first and then set aside)

Preparation:

Dressing:-
*  Grind peppercorns for 5 seconds on Speed 9
*  Add shallots, chop for 10 seconds on Speed 7
*  Add remainder of ingredients, mix with 50ml of water for 10 seconds on Speed 5.
*  Set aside.

Sprouts:-
*  Steam sprouts for 5 minutes.  Remove and drain on kitchen paper.
*  Heat oil over a high heat until it reaches 180°C. 
*  Fry the sprouts in batches, taking about 3-4 minutes per batch.  They will take on a rich brown colour on the outside - don't stress if they start looking burnt, it adds to their flavour.
*  Drain on kitchen paper.

To Serve:

*  Dress the brussels sprouts with the dressing (I only used about a quarter of the amount made).  Garnish with fried shallots and mint.


Tips/Hints:

The dressing quantities make ample - I only used about a quarter of it, so you may want to make less.
