Ingredients

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 inch piece ginger root peeled (I grate washed ginger skin on)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon tamarind paste concentrate I used 1 tablespoon
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse the brussels sprouts under running tap water, drain, and pat dry with a clean towel. Trim the ends of the sprouts and discard any damaged outer leaves. Cut each brussels sprouts in half and then slice them extremely thin to get fine thin shreds. Alternately, you can also shave them on a mandolin slicer using the thinnest setting. Keep aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil on medium high in a thick bottomed pan or skillet. Once the oil begins to heat up after approximately 30-40 seconds, grate the ginger root directly onto the hot oil using a microplane zester (or the fine teeth of a grater). Quickly stir and cook the ginger for 30 seconds in the hot oil, add the brussels sprouts to the oil, mix well and cook with occasional stirring for 8-10 minutes( I cooked mine for 4-5 mins only as I like it a little crunchy.) Season with the salt and pepper and adjust the amounts if needed.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the tamarind, hot water and honey to a thin paste. Taste and adjust the sweetness with more honey if desired. If it is too acidic then you can add a little more hot water.
  4. Serve the warm brussels sprouts with the tamarind sauce on the side. You can also drizzle a little sauce over the brussels sprouts and then serve the rest of the sauce with it.
