Brussels Sprouts

Harissa Aioli

Method

Preparing Brussels Sprouts

  1. 1

    Trim and Halve

    Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or wilted leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.

  2. 2

    Season

    In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Frying Brussels Sprouts

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat until hot. Add the Brussels sprouts, cut side down, to the skillet.

  2. 4

    Fry

    Fry for about 5-7 minutes without stirring, allowing them to caramelize and get crispy. Stir occasionally for another 5 minutes until they are tender and golden brown.

  3. 5

    Add Parmesan

    Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the hot Brussels sprouts with grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of truffle oil. Toss gently to combine.

Making Harissa Aioli

  1. 6

    Mix Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, harissa paste, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir until well blended.

  2. 7

    Season

    Add salt to taste and mix again. Adjust harissa for spice level if desired.
