Macritchie'S Fried Brussels Sprouts

1. 1

   Check brussels sprouts for old, tough outer leaves and remove. Slice them in half, especially if they are larger than golf balls.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium to medium high heat. Add the sprouts.

3. 3

   Fry the sprouts, making sure both sides are browned. Sear them so they are quite dark, then reduce the heat and continue to cook about 5 minutes, shaking the pan periodically.

4. 4

   Add the garlic and when the pan has cooled to medium low heat. Then add the basil, salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Spill a little water in the pan, enough to make a steam, and cover with a lid for the last three minutes to be sure the sprouts are tender.

6. 6

   Put in a serving dish and sprinkle with a little lemon juice if desired.
