Pomegranate Chestnut Sprouts Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Put the sprouts in the pan, cut-side down, and leave them to fry for 10-15 mins, tossing occasionally. If they're just lightly brown, carry on cooking for a further 5 mins until blistered.
• Scatter over the pistachios and stir-fry until toasted. Remove from the heat and stir through the pomegranate seeds. Season with salt and tip into a serving dish. Drizzle with a little pomegranate molasses, if you like.

Steps:

• Position the baking rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425[dg]F. In a large bowl, toss the brussels sprouts with oil and a few pinches of salt. Spread the brussels sprouts over a shallow baking pan and roast for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sprouts are lightly browned and crispy.
• While the brussels sprouts are roasting, in a small saucepan combine the pomegranate juice with the sugar and set over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. When the liquid comes to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer until the liquid is reduced to one quarter of the original amount and is thick and syrupy, about 25 minutes. Toward the end, watch the reduction carefully - it can go from thick to burned in a matter of seconds. Transfer the reduction to a cooling rack and let it come to room temperature. Do not refrigerate.
• Drizzle the reduction over the brussels sprouts and sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds.

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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.
