Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Chestnuts Pomegranate And Cider Reduction Recipes

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON & CHESTNUTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the sprouts and cook for 5 mins. Drain and refresh in cold water.
• Toss the sprouts with all the other ingredients in a bowl and season with a pinch of salt and a good grinding of black pepper. Tip onto a large baking tray in a single layer. Put in the oven and roast for 30 mins, tossing halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the sprouts are golden and tender.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH A POMEGRANATE REDUCTION

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.
