Brussel Sprout Salad
We may be veg-centric but I would go so far to say sprouts are our favourite thing about Christmas. Each year, nothing delights us more than coming up with a new seasonal recipe for these beauties. This year, we are proud to present our new and improved brussel sprout salad. Roasted brussels paired with sautéed spiced shallots on a base of cavolo nero, finished with a generous drizzle of cashew cream and toasted almonds. Trust us, you will never tire of a sprout with this dish. Perhaps a new one to bring to the Christmas table and wow your loved ones?
RecipesServes 2 as a main or 4 as a side.
Ingredients:
- 500g sprouts, halved
- 200g cavolo nero, chopped
- 4 shallots, chopped into rounds
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- Cracked black pepper
- Maldon Salt
- Handful of flaked almonds
For the cashew cream:
- 100g cashews, soaked in boiling water for 10 minutes and drained
- 50 ml water
- 50 ml rapeseed oil
- 1/2 tsp Malden salt
- Pinch cracked black pepper
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius.
- Drizzle some oil, salt and pepper onto your sprouts in a baking dish and roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make your cashew cream by blitzing all the ingredients in a blender until smooth and velvety.
- Sauté the shallots in a little oil on a low-medium heat, with the mixed spice, until softened. Add your cavolo nero, season with salt and pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes more.
- When the sprouts are softened and slightly browned on the top, layer your dish starting with the cavolo nero and shallots as a base. Top with the sprouts and then drizzle your cashew cream over the top. Finish with a sprinkling of flaked almonds.
