Prep time

Ingredients

  • Butter: 25g cold butter, diced
  • Sunflower Oil: 3 tbsp rapeseed or sunflower oil
  • Sesame Seed: 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Pomegranate Seed: 100g pomegranate seeds
  • Pomegranate Molasses: drizzle of pomegranate molasses
  • Brussels Sprout: 400g Brussels sprouts, halved

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Put the sprouts in the pan, cut-side down, and leave them to sizzle away happily for 10 mins without disturbing them.
  2. Halfway through cooking, dot over the butter and leave it to sizzle and brown - the sprouts need to be really crispy and dark brown. If they are just lightly brown, carry on cooking for another 5-10 mins.
  3. Scatter over the sesame seeds and stir-fry everything until the seeds are toasted. Off the heat, toss through the pomegranate seeds, then season the sprouts with salt and tip into a serving dish. Drizzle with the pomegranate molasses before serving.
