Brussels Sprouts With Shallots And Wild Mushrooms

• 3 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 lb large shallots (about 6), cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices and separated into rings (2 1/2 cups)
• 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
• 1 1/4 lb mixed fresh wild mushrooms such as chanterelle and oyster, trimmed, quartered if large
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup water
• a deep-fat thermometer

1. Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 450u0b0F.
2. Toss Brussels sprouts with oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, then spread out in 1 layer in 2 large shallow baking pans (17 by 12 inches). Roast, stirring occasionally and switching position of pans halfway through roasting, until tender and browned, 25 to 35 minutes.
3. Heat oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until temperature measures 250u0b0F (see cooks' note, below), then fry shallots in 3 batches, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per batch (watch closely, as shallots can burn easily). Quickly transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, spreading in a single layer. (Shallots will crisp as they cool.) Pour off oil from skillet (do not clean).
4. Heat 5 tablespoons butter in skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then saute mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 7 minutes.
5. Add wine, thyme, salt, and pepper and boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a glaze, about 2 minutes. Add water (1/2 cup) and remaining tablespoon butter and simmer, swirling skillet, until butter is melted. Transfer to a serving dish and stir in Brussels sprouts. Sprinkle with some of shallots and serve with remaining shallots on the side.
