Ingredients
-
1 pound
Brussels sprouts
-
1/2 cup
raw hazelnuts
-
1
small pomegranate, sliced, seeds removed
-
2
lemons, juiced
-
1 teaspoon
spicy mustard
-
1 tablespoon
maple syrup
-
freshly ground black pepper
-
salt to taste
Directions
-
With a mandolin or a sharp knight, slice the Brussels sprouts very thinly (making sure not to slice your hand!). In a small bowl, combine the the lemon juice, spicy mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Mix and set aside.
-
Place a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the hazelnuts and spread them to a single layer over the pan. Toast them for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly browned on the outside and smell nutty. Remove from heat quickly to avoid burning and set them to cool a bit. Rub nuts in a cloth towel to remove skins and cool completely. Slice the hazelnuts in half.
-
Toss the sliced brussels sprouts with the lemon-maple dressing and mix in the hazelnuts and pomegranate seeds. Season with salt and cracked black pepper to taste and serve!
