Recipe by Cook's Hideout

Pan searing brussels sprouts until toasty is a quick alternative to roasting them in the oven. Topping with crispy panko breadcrumbs and almonds nicely balance both the taste and texture of the dish.

Ingredients

• 3 cups (1.25l) fish stock ((1 lb.) Brussels Sprouts, trimmed and halved)
• ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup almonds (Slivered , dry roasted)
• 2 tbsps garlic (flavored oil)
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• to taste Salt Pepper (&)

1. Heat 1tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast for 3~5 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure to stir often. Transfer to bowl, stir in almonds and lemon zest.
2. Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining 1tbsp oil and heat over medium heat. Add brussels sprouts cut side down, cover and lower the heat to medium-low. Cook for 10~12 minutes, or until the brussels sprouts are light brown on cut side.
