Method

Brussels Sprouts Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any outer leaves that are wilted. Cut the Brussels sprouts in half.

  2. 2

    Batter the Brussels Sprouts

    In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs. Dip each Brussels sprout half first in the flour mixture, then in the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.

Pickling Shallots

  1. 3

    Slice and Pickle the Shallots

    Thinly slice the shallots and place them in a jar. In a saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, salt, and water. Bring to a boil, then pour the hot mixture over the shallots in the jar. Let cool and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Making the Dressing

  1. 4

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a bowl, combine the Pecorino Romano cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, black peppercorns, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Frying Brussels Sprouts

  1. 5

    Fry the Brussels Sprouts

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered Brussels sprout halves in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Plating

  1. 6

    Serve and Garnish

    On a serving plate, arrange the fried Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with the Pecorino peppercorn dressing, top with pickled shallots, and sprinkle chopped chives over the top. Serve immediately.
