Uchiko Brussels Sprouts With Lemon Chili Recipe 415

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season with 1 teaspoon salt.
• Place the sprouts cut side down in the skillet and let brown, 2 to 3 minutes. (Don't crowd the sprouts, if you have to, brown in 2 batches, removing the first batch to a plate.) Once the sprouts are browned, toss in the skillet and roast in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove and toss with the chili flakes and the remaining tablespoon of the oil. Roast until tender, 6 to 7 minutes. As soon as the sprouts are out of the oven, sprinkle with the lemon zest and squeeze the lemon half over the top. Toss well. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve.

Steps:

• Combine lemongrass, garlic, shallot, ginger and Thai chili in a medium saucepot over medium heat and cook to caramelize. Add herbs and stir. Deglaze pan with fish sauce and add 1 cup water and sugar and cook until reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Strain and let cool. While fish sauce mixture is reducing, combine fish sauce, sugar, vinegar, garlic, leeks, Korean chili flakes, salt and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepot. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Cool and then puree in a blender. Heat peanut oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add sprouts to hot oil and fry for three minutes. Remove with a spider strainer and place on a paper towel to absorb some of the liquid. Place sprouts in a large bowl and toss with 1/2 cup of prepared fish sauce, 1/2 cup prepared chili sauce and lemon juice. Serve in a bowl lined with parchment paper.

Steps:

• Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 4-5 mins until just tender, then drain and leave to cool a little before slicing in half vertically.
• Meanwhile, heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the garlic and cook until golden but not burnt, around 4 mins. Use a slotted spoon to remove the garlic and discard. Add the chilli flakes and a big pinch of salt to the oil, then put the sprouts cut-side down in the pan, and leave them to cook for around 10 mins. Don't be tempted to move them - this ensures that they get some colour. Add the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice, then cook for a few mins more.
• Tip onto a large serving platter, top with lemon zest and season. These will hold in a low oven for 20 mins while you get everything else ready.

Steps:

• Set a rack to the highest position and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place Brussels sprouts on the prepared baking sheet, cut-sides down. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven on the top shelf until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes.
• Stir together sweet chili sauce and soy sauce. Dab or brush sauce on top of Brussels sprouts and continue to roast until glaze is hot and bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
