Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 lb. brussels sprouts; cleaned, trimmed, and halved
  • Canola oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 tsp coarse salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1 egg egg, (lightly beaten)
  • 1 cup cold beer
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt ((I like 2%))
  • 4 oz. blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp chopped parsley

Instruction

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add halved brussels sprouts and let cook for 7 minutes. Drain sprouts and wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to dry as much as possible.
  • Pour canola oil in a deep pot so it's about 2" deep and heat to between 365-400 degrees. 
  • While oil is heating, mix flour, cornmeal, salt, and cayenne in a large bowl. Stir in egg and beer.
  • When oil is hot, work in batches to dunk sprouts in batter and carefully drop in the oil. Let fry for about 4 minutes, until they're golden brown. You'll likely have to adjust burner level to keep oil temperature in the right range. When sprouts are golden, remove from oil and place in a paper towel-lined bowl. Continue until all sprouts are fried.
