Caesar Brussels Sprouts
We are regularly inspired by spectacular food we have out in the world, and this gluten free brussels sprouts with Caesar dressing recipe is a testament to the ridiculously delicious Caesar Brussels Sprouts at San Francisco’s fabulous fast-casual restaurant RT Rotisserie. The laid-back sister to highfalutin Rich Table restaurant, it offers elevated yet simple California comfort foods at reasonable prices, and their brussels sprouts are insanely good. Tender, roasted, and drenched in a fantastic savory Caesar dressing, they’re good enough to eat as a meal. We’ve added GF garlic breadcrumbs, which are addictive in themselves.

Ingredients
- 1 slice gluten-free bread
- 4 tablespoons olive oil

- 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Instructions
-
In a food processor, pulse the bread into pine nut-size crumbs.

In a small pan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil and the halved garlic slices, cut side down, until the garlic is very aromatic and just starting to turn golden. Remove and reserve the garlic. Add to the oil the breadcrumbs and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the breadcrumbs are crisp but not burning, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

Squeeze in about 1 teaspoon lemon juice from the half lemon, add 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce and pepper to taste. Mix to combine, taste the dressing, and add more fish sauce, lemon, and pepper if desired.
