Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Walnuts
500g brussels sprouts, washed and ends removed and outer leaves removed
1/3 cup walnut halves
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbs olive oil
pinch of salt
1 tbs pomegranate molasses
toasted flatbread, to serve
thick greek yoghurt, to serve

olive oil, to serve
shred each sprout using a sharp knife.
toast the walnut halves in a dry frying pan over a low heat for 6-8 minutes, shaking the pan frequently, until golden and toasted.
add the cumin seeds and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
transfer the walnuts and cumin seeds to a small bowl and set aside.
add the olive oil to the same pan, turn up the heat to medium high and add the sprouts for 5 minutes until the sprouts are starting to catch in places and have started to reduce (they should still be a verdant green colour). stir in the pomegranate molasses, walnuts, and cumin, then cook for a further 30 seconds, tossing the pan a couple of times until everything is incorporated.
serve warm with some toasted flatbread and yoghurt topped with za’atar and oil, or stuffed into a falafel wrap.
