Flash Fried Brussels Sprouts Leaves

1. 1

   Cut off the stem end of the Brussels sprouts and peal off the leaves until you get to the hard heart of the sprout and can't peel off any more.

2. 2

   Pour enough vegetable oil into a heavy tall pot to fry the Brussels sprout leaves, about 3 inches. Heat to frying temperature.(Test by dropping a leaf)

3. 3

   Carefully, using a large kitchen spider strainer lower the leaves into the hot oil.Quickly utilize the splash guard or cover to prevent the hot oil from splattering on yourself. The leaves will cook very quickly! It will take (depending on just how hot the oil is) from 10 to 15 seconds before the leaves start to get crispy. Remove with the spider and dump them on paper towels to drain.

4. 4

   Sprinkle with a little sea salt and enjoy.

5. 5

   Save the remaining hard hearts of the sprouts to saute' later.
