This dish is inspired by a favourite from Momofuku Ssäm Bar in New York. Asian flavours work really well with sprouts, and roasting them until they are deep golden brings out their incredible nutty flavour.

Ingredients

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

10 gm (1 tsp) butter

350 gm Brussels sprouts (about 16), trimmed, outer leaves discarded

For shallow-trying: olive oil

4 large golden shallots, shaved on a mandolin

1 garlic clove

4 small red chillies, coarsely chopped

2 tbsp fish sauce

30 gm light palm sugar, crushed

¼ cup coarsely chopped coriander

To serve: lime wedges

Method

Main

1.Preheat oven to 190C. Heat extra-virgin olive oil and butter in an ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat, add Brussels sprouts and cook, tossing occasionally, until starting to brown (2-3 minutes). Transfer to oven and roast until golden and tender (12-18 minutes).

2.Heat 2cm of olive oil in a small saucepan over high heat, add shallot and stir until crisp (4-8 minutes), then transfer with a slotted spoon to absorbent paper to drain.

3.Pound garlic with a mortar and pestle, then add chillies and pound to a paste. Add fish sauce and palm sugar and pound to combine. Add to Brussels sprouts with coriander and toss to coat well. Transfer to a platter, top with shallots and serve with lime wedges.
