Crispy Brussels Sprouts

Celia Sin-Tien Cheng

The Brussels sprouts are always on the menu at Alta and they are one of the restaurant’s signature dishes. Their success speaks to chef Harrison Mosher’s talent — he has made a loathed vegetable into a best selling item. What’s the secret? Deep fry the sprouts, add some apple cider reduction to make them taste caramelized, and add a little crème fraiche to make everything good. The crushed pistachios, add a crunch that contrasts the Brussels sprouts softness, always a favorite, too. How could this combination not be a crowd pleaser?! I know it’s a little hard to identify what’s what in the photo but believe me, close your eyes and take a bite, and it will instantly make it on your cravings list too!
