Author Notes
My husband and I have interaction to skedaddle to The Vanderbilt in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, on a weeknight, sit down on the bar, which faces the start kitchen, and represent a bunch of appetizers and nibbles. Nibbles are a Vanderbilt uniqueness. There is enormous put-it-yourself red meat jerky and pickles, and blistered shishito peppers with dipping salt, but the undisputed celebrity — which we represent every time we skedaddle — is the fried Brussels sprouts. The sprouts advance in a towering pile; the leaves are pulled aside and fried, with the candy hearts tossed into the oil and cooked factual to the point of tenderness. The crisp shards are then painted with a mixture of sriracha, honey and lime juice, making the sprouts tangy, hot and candy without be aware. In an are trying and replicate these at dwelling, I painstakingly peeled a pound of sprouts and bought frying. Happily, I chanced on that if you occur to’re willing to address a diminutive hot oil, that you just can enact a pretty correct job of replicating these guys at dwelling. I’m hoping you skills them as grand as we did! —Merrill Stubbs
