— Recipe extracted from SALAD by Two Raw Sisters
This salad uses three of our favourite, most-used winter ingredients.
Brussels sprouts would have to be one of our favourite vegetables, however, a lot of people don’t share this same love… But once you try them roasted with a delicious crispy outside, tossed through pan-fried onion, garlic, pumpkin seeds and a drizzle of tahini, you too will share the same love. This recipe is a great place to start if Brussels sprouts scared you during childhood.

If you don’t want to roast the Brussels sprouts you can pan-fry them instead. The secret to a good charred pan-fried sprout is to cook them on high heat and don’t stir! Our method is leave them for 3 minutes so the pan-side down bits get a chance to char up, the stir and repeat 2 to 3 times. This works a treat with any vegetable you’re pan-frying.
