Crispy Brussels Sprouts
Appetizers • European
Description
Brussels sprouts are like the odd child in the cabbage family. Tiny buds the size of a thimble, a robust, almost garlicky flavor, and a bright green color—these are all distinct features with no resemblance to other cabbages. Mini cabbages can be boiled, but they are best roasted: the dense structure of the leaves prevents them, even when blanched, from soaking up water, and each bud develops a delicious brown crust in the pan. Moreover, they remain crispy when fried, and this flavor can easily be enhanced by adding breadcrumbs. A Parmesan crust adds the finishing touch to this simple yet cohesive dish. Crispy Brussels sprouts are delightful on their own or as a complement to any meat or poultry, and they are simply perfect with roasted duck breast.
