Thai brussels sprouts
Servings 1 serve
Ingredients
Brussels sprouts
- glug olive oil
- 300 g brussels sprouts, sliced in half
- 100 g thickly sliced bacon (optional but delicious), diced or cut into batons
- about 2-3 tbsp Thai sauce (recipe below, though the amounts shown below are more than you will need - you can use the rest to make my rainbow salad with Thai salad dressing)
Thai sauce
- 1.5 tbsp tamari or gluten free soy sauce
- squirt of garlic paste (or 1 garlic clove, crushed)
- scant 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp fish sauce
Instructions
- Wash and dry the brussels sprouts. Slice the bottoms off them (if needed), then slice them in half.
- Slice or dice your bacon, if using.
- Heat up the olive oil over high heat in a medium to large frying pan, then toss in the brussels sprouts and bacon.
- Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes over high heat, stirring occasionally (towards the end) - until the brussels sprouts are looking nice and lightly charred.
- While the brussels sprouts are cooking, make your Thai sauce - simply place all the ingredients in a small glass jar, put on a lid on tightly and shake until combined.
- Pour 2 to 3 tbsp of the sauce over the brussels sprouts and bacon. Let cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, then take off the heat and serve immediately. Do not overcook.
