Step 1

Wash the Brussels Sprouts (5 cups) with cool water, pat dry, trim off any stems and cut each one in half. Also dice the Garlic (3 cloves) , Pimiento Pepper (1) , and Onion (1) .

Step 2

Heat the Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) on a medium flame and add the onion and garlic. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 3 minutes.

Step 3

Now add the Salted Fish (3/4 cup) and cook for another 3 minutes.

Step 4

Toss in the seasoning pepper and Red Bird's Eye Chili Pepper (2) and cook or 1 minute to release its wonderful oil, then add in the Brussel sprouts and Curry Powder (1/2 tsp) and give it a good stir. With your heat still on low, cook for 12-15 minutes. You will get some golden edges on the brussels sprouts, that’s what we want.

Step 5

Taste and adjust for salt if needed. Squeeze in the juice from Lemon (1) at the end to brighten up the entire dish and serve warm.
