ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CHESTNUTS, POMEGRANATE, AND CIDER REDUCTION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss halved brussels sprouts with oil; season with salt. Spread in a single layer and roast, stirring once halfway through, until browned and crisp in places, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine cider, vinegar, and Dijon in a saucepan; season with salt and pepper. Boil, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and reduced to 1/4 cup, about 12 minutes.
• Toss roasted and raw brussels sprouts with chestnuts, cider reduction, and 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds; season with salt and pepper. Top with remaining 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds; serve.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH POMEGRANATE AND HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the Brussels sprouts in a medium roasting pan; toss with the canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until light golden brown and a knife inserted into the centers goes in without any resistance, about 45 minutes.
• Transfer the sprouts to a large bowl and add the pomegranate molasses, pomegranate seeds, hazelnuts, and lime and orange zests. Season with salt as needed.

POMEGRANATE & CHESTNUT SPROUTS

Steps:

• Shred the sprouts by blitzing in a food processor, or do this carefully with a sharp knife. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the sprouts, stirring regularly for 2-3 mins until mostly softened. Stir in the chestnuts, then drizzle in the pomegranate molasses.
• Fry for 1-2 mins more, or until the sprouts are tender and beginning to caramelise in places. Remove from the heat and season. Scatter over the pomegranate seeds.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND POMEGRANATE SEEDS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Use a knife to lop the top and bottom off the squash. Slice the skin off the sides, then cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Chop into small pieces. Divide the squash between 2 baking sheets.
• Trim the Brussels sprouts, then cut them in half if desired (or you can leave them whole). Arrange on the baking sheets with the squash. Break the quartered onions apart and add them to the baking sheets.
• Drizzle the vegetables with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the chili powder and toss. Roast 30 to 35 minutes, or until browned.
• Take the vegetables out of the oven and tip into a serving dish. Drizzle with the pomegranate molasses and sprinkle on the pomegranate seeds. Toss and serve immediately.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON & CHESTNUTS

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, then tip in 1 ¼ kg trimmed Brussels sprouts. Once back to the boil, cook for 5 mins. Drain, run under the cold tap until cold, then drain again.
• Heat a large frying pan, add 6 rashers smoked streaky bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces, and gently fry for 10 mins until crisp and golden.
• Tip out of the pan, leaving the fat behind, then add 200g chestnuts and fry over a high heat for about 5 mins until tinged. Tip out of the pan.
• Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan with a splash of water, then cover and finish cooking over a medium heat for about 5 mins, stirring now and again, until just tender.
• Uncover, turn up the heat, then add most of the 50g butter and sauté the sprouts for 2 mins more.
• Tip in the bacon and chestnuts, season generously with salt and pepper, then serve with the last knob of butter on top.
