Sprouts quick fried in sesame oil with garlic and cumin seeds

Sprouts worth fighting over

ScranMa
I know this sounds ridiculous, but my kids actually wanted more of these and fought over who got the last one...they are so simple, fast, healthy and tasty if you can get the prepped small button sprouts in season.
Prep Time 1 minute
Cook Time 5 minutes
Course Side Dish
Servings 3

Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1 clove Garlic Chopped (straight from the freezer)
  • 0.5 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 240 g Brussels Sprouts Small, whole, prepped in-season sprouts are the best

Instructions
 

  • Add the sesame oil, frozen garlic and cumin seeds to the frying pan and gently heat so that the oil takes on the flavour of the additions for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the sprouts, and fry on a high heat for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and only just slightly soft.

Notes

Don't use big sprouts for this, or they'll still be hard and not cooked, if you only have these give them a quick steam for 2-3 minutes before putting into the frying pan of tasty oil.
Also don't spend 3 minutes trying to persuade a child to wash hands before dinner or they do burn (although somehow they didn't taste burnt, just caramelised and yummy, thank goodness, and still the kids fought over them).
