{fry in olive oil? yes, this time we do just that}
I know that brussels sprouts is not everyone’s favourite vegetable … but this crispy fried brussels sprouts in olive oil with poor man’s parmesan is one of those dishes that once you have made it this way you will never do it any other way.
{perfect flavour combinations}
The peppery flavour of the olive oil compliments the crispness and bitterness of the brussels sprouts perfectly and the rustic flavouring of the poor man’s parmesan just adds that extra flavour and texture. This is a simple dish but believe me this will keep your taste buds intrigued for a long time.
