Marcus Wareing’s Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate and Almonds

Marcus Wareing

Brussels sprouts – they’re a festive classic that usually divide. Yet with a simple addition of pomegranate and flaked almond, I’m willing to bet even the most doubting of Christmas dinner diners will be won over by what’s on offer.

Ingredients

Serves 6

  • 500g Brussels sprouts, outer leaves peeled (use small knife to criss cross the stalk)
  • 75g unsalted butter
  • ½ pomegranate, seeds removed
  • 100g toasted flaked almonds
  • Salt and pepper

  1. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the sprouts and cook for 5 minutes until tender. Now drain.
  2. Heat a large frying pan/sauté pan and add the butter. Once melted add the cooked sprouts and season well with salt and pepper – sauté for a couple of minutes until lightly coloured and transfer to a serving bowl.
  3. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and toasted flaked almonds to serve.
