BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH GARLIC & ANCHOVY

From The Milk Street Cookbook
Serves 2 generously as a side dish


Ingredients:

1 lb small to medium brussels sprouts, washed, dried, trimmed and halved
3 T olive oil, divided
1 T rice syrup
1/2 t salt
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 anchovy fillets
Red pepper flakes
1 T lemon juice


Methodology:

In a large bowl, toss the sprouts with 1 T of the oil, the rice syrup and the salt.

In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, combine 1 T oil, the garlic, the anchovies and the red pepper flakes.  Help the anchovies disintegrate by mashing them with a rubber spatula.  Cook, stirring, until the garlic begins to color, 3-4 minutes.  Scrape the mixture into the sprout serving bowl.

Return the skillet to medium heat.  Add the final 1 T oil and use tongs to arrange the sprouts cut-side down in a single layer.  Cook, without moving, until charred in spots (start checking at 3 minutes).  Flip and cook an additional 3-5 minutes.

Pour the sprouts into the serving bowl, top with the lemon juice, and toss well.  Top with additional pepper flakes and salt, if desired.
