Brussels Sprouts -Spicy with Fried Capers

By á-47

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 1/2 cup drained brined capers
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 to 3/4 tea. red chile flakes
• 1/2 lemon

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add brussels sprouts and cook just until tender and bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, blot capers on a pepper towel. Heat oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add capers and cook, stirring carefully (mixture will splatter), until capers start to open and are brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer capers to a paper towel to drain.

Add garlic to pan and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add brussels sprouts and chile flakes and stir to coat with oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 5 minutes.

Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with capers and a squeeze of lemon.
