Ingredients
- 300g Brussels sprouts, trimmed
- 2 large oranges
- ½ tsp sea salt flakes
- 2 tsp sherry vinegar
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 Pomegranate, seeds only (about 180g)
- 140g pack red chicory, leaves separated
- 25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves picked
- Parmigiano Reggiano, shaved, to serve (optional)
Method
Use a sharp knife to slice the sprouts very thinly, then transfer to a bowl. Peel one orange and cut it into segments, then squeeze the juice from the other. Add the salt and a quarter of the orange juice to the sprouts; mix and leave for 5-10 minutes to soften.
In a separate, large mixing bowl, combine the remaining orange juice with the vinegar, sugar, olive oil and two-thirds of the pomegranate seeds. Add the orange segments, softened sprouts, chicory and parsley. Mix well..
Transfer the salad to a serving platter, sprinkle the remaining pomegranate seeds over the top and add an extra drizzle of oil. Scatter over some Parmigiano Reggiano shavings, if liked.
