Brussels Sprouts with Lime, Chilli and Soy

Yes, it’s the time of year to roll out another sprout recipe! This time they have a fresh Asian dressing with a pop of chilli. (The secret is too not over cook them!)

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

500 grams medium Brussels sprouts, halved
olive oil
sea salt and ground pepper
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
½ long red chilli, seeded and thinly sliced

Dressing
1 teaspoon lime juice
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons fish sauce

METHOD

Dressing: Whisk all the ingredients in a bowl.

Heat a little oil in a large sauté pan over a high heat. When hot, add the sprouts and cook until golden. Add a splash of water, cover and cook until just tender but still with a little bite. Remove from the heat and add the dressing, turning so they are all well coated. 

Transfer to a serving bowl and toss through the chilli and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
