Chilli and Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients

2 garlic cloves
1-2 red chillies
1 bunch of spring onions
500 g Brussels sprouts
Vegetable or groundnut oil
2 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs seasame oil
2 Tbs pure Canadian maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich taste)
1 lime
1/2 bunch of coriander

Method

Peel and finely slice the garlic. Halve the red chillies, remove the seeds and finely slice also. Trim the spring onions and slice.

Trim the Brussels sprouts, removing any brown or tough outer leaves and then finely slice them on the slicing attachment of a food processor. If you don’t have one, you can do this by hand, just shred as finely as you can.

Place a large frying pan or wok on a medium heat. Pour in a few tablespoons of oil then add the garlic and chilli. Fry for a minute, then add the spring onions.

Fry for a couple more minutes, till everything is a little golden then stir in the shredded Brussels sprouts. Turn the heat up, add a splash of water to the pan, then cover with a lid for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through.

Remove the lid, stir in the soy, sesame oil, maple and squeeze in the lime and flash fry for a couple of minutes until charred golden and stick. Tear over the coriander leaves and serve.
