Fried Brussels Sprouts with Creamy Mustard and Cider Dressing

By

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup creme fraiche
  • 1/3 cup whole-grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 4 cups sliced Brussels sprouts (quartered or cut into sixths, depending on size)

Preparation

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the creme fraiche, mustard, vinegar and honey. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
In a straight-sided shallow saute pan, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts; they should begin to sizzle and fry immediately. Continue to cook, rotating the Brussels sprouts on all sides, until crispy, about 5 minutes.
Drain the Brussels sprouts and toss in enough vinaigrette to dress them. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
