Brussels sprouts tempura is a modern twist on a Japanese classic. The light and crispy tempura batter is a perfect complement to the tender and slightly bitter Brussels sprouts. The accompanying anchovy dip adds a depth of flavor that pulls the dish together and makes it a perfect appetizer or snack. Despite the deep-frying, the health benefits of Brussels sprouts make this dish a great addition to your diet.

Instructions

1.Trim the Brussels sprouts and cut in half lengthways. Blanch in boiling salted water for about 2-3 minutes until just tender.
2.Drain and shake off any excess water. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and set aside.
3.Heat the oil in a deep pan or fryer, to around 375°F.
4.In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sparkling water, salt and pepper.
5.In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until stiff.
6.Fold the egg white gently into the batter until just combined. Dip each Brussels sprout half into the batter to coat, then lower into the hot oil and fry until crisp and golden.
7.Drain on paper towels.
8.For the anchovy dip, mix together the anchovies, chopped parsley, capers, lemon juice, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil.
9.Serve the hot Brussels sprouts tempura alongside the anchovy dip.
