Crispy Brussels sprouts with Neuske’s bacon and Rye Whiskey Maple Caramel

Ingredients:

1# Brussels sprouts shaved. Use a slicing blade on a food processor, a knife, or (very carefully!) on a mandolin.

  • 1 package of bacon small diced
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 6oz rye whiskey
  • Coarse sea salt to taste.

Cook bacon in a saute pan until cooked through but not yet crispy. Let cool.

Heat whiskey in a sauce pot to a simmer. Add whiskey and light on fire to cook out the alcohol. When the flame goes out turn off the heat, stir, and cool.

In a large pot of canola oil or a deep fryer at 350 degrees, fry Brussels with bacon until brown and crispy. Drizzle with whiskey caramel and sprinkle with sea salt.
