For those that don’t really enjoy sprouts or simple need to use them up, why not try out this recipe as it’s delicious, healthy & very much better tasting than it may first sound.
Serves 2
For the ‘balti style’ sauce you will need the following:-
3 table spoons Oil
4 medium Shallots (finely chopped)
3 inch section Ginger root (mashed)
2 cloves Garlic (mashed)
2 large Tomato (deseeded & chopped)
1 table spoon Paprika
½ table spoon Turmeric
½ table spoon Cumin
½ table spoon Coriander
¼ table spoon Chilli powder
250ml Tap water
For you main vegetable dish you will need:-
3 table spoons Oil
2 large Onion (coarsely clopped)
5 handfuls Brussels sprout ( Dressed to remove old leaves & course stalks)
1 knob Butter (unsalted)
1 Handful Fresh coriander leaves (coarsely clopped)
The sauce:- • Roughly chop the ginger, garlic & onions before adding to your food processor for a quick 30 second blitz. • Empty the resultant mix into your preheated saucepan (that contains 3 table spoons of oil) & cook on a medium heat until lightly brown. • Add the tomato’s, dry spices & water to the mix before bringing to the boil. • Once boiled, reduce the heat to low, cover and allow the sauce to simmer gentle (stirring on occasion) for 30 minutes. • Remove from the heat & rest.
The veg:- • In a suitable wok/saucepan heat 3 table spoons of oil on a high heat before adding the coarsely chopped onions which you fry until lightly brown. • Reduce the heat to medium, add your sprouts, a pinch of salt & then cover to allow the contents to steam in its own juices for around 8 minutes (add a splash of tap water if your sprouts are a little old or dry!) • Give the vegetable mix a good stir & check how soft your sprouts are* before combining these with the sauce from above. • Heat the entire mix thoroughly for another 2 minutes before adding a knob of butter & Fresh coriander leaves. • A further minutes cooking, gentle stir & you are ready to serve up! Forget the knives & forks, this meal should be eaten your hands & japati bread! Depending on the age, you might need to give this stage a little longer to help them along!
