If you have gone a bit overboard with the Brussel sprouts this year, here’s a great way to use them up!

You Will Need:

6-7 Brussels sprouts, finely sliced
3 strips of bacon, finely sliced
1 carrot, grated
1 spring onion, finely chopped
1½ cups of plain flour
1 cup of cold water
3 tbpsn of fish sauce or soya sauce
A pinch of salt and pepper 

For Frying:

500 ml cooking oil

To Make:

Mix all ingredients in a big bowl. The consistency will be like thick dough. Don’t worry if at first it seems a bit dry, even after you have added some water, as eventually there will be some water coming out from the vegetables and when you mix them well, that water will also become part of the dough, making it stickier and building up the consistency. 

Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat and fry each fritter at around the size of a tablespoon. This will only take 3 minutes on each side.
