Beautiful Brussels Sprouts with pomegranate

I know brussels sprouts can be polarising, but I do urge you to give this recipe a go.

These beautiful brussels sprouts with pomegranate are lovely and caramelised. The addition of the pomegranate molasses assists here as well as gives an incredible sweetness and tartness to the dish. I adore this recipe. But then, I am a raving fan of brussels sprouts (when they are done right).

I only ever cook these beautiful brussels sprouts with pomegranate when they are in Season. For us here in Australia, the season is now over Spring & Summer. If you are residing elsewhere, this is a great seasonal produce guide here for you to utilise.

This is a great salad or side dish when you are next entertaining. They would also look very ‘Christmas-y’ on your Christmas table. They are super pretty.

Equipment

• 1 Large saucepan
• 1 Colander
• 1 Salad bowl or platter

Ingredients

• 500 g Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
• 5 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
• Sea salt
• 1 lemon juiced
• 2 tablespoons dill washed & chopped
• 1 small handful mint leaves
• 60 g pistachios toasted & roughly chopped
• ½ pomegranate seeded
• 100 g labne or feta
• Extra virgin olive oil at the very end to drizzle

Instructions

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil with a pinch of salt.
• Blanch the Brussels sprouts for 30 seconds then drain well.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat.
• Add the Brussels sprouts and cook 3-5 minutes, turning as little as possible so they get a charring effect. Add the pomegranate molasses and cook until the Brussels sprouts are caramelised – around 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Place the Brussels sprouts in a bowl and season with sea salt. Add the lemon juice. Add the dill & mint and scatter over the pistachios and pomegranate seeds. Toss gently to combine.
• Place in a serving bowl or platter. Add dollops of labne or alternatively, you could crumble over some feta.
• Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and scatter with a few more herbs, when serving.

Notes

Be sure to get a nice caramelisation on the brussels sprouts. And labne or feta could be used for this recipe or you could leave out if need be.
