Brussels sprouts with Parmesan

Ingredients for 2 portions:

• 500g brussels sprouts
• olive oil

• 40g almond flakes
• 40g Parmesan cheese
• 1 lemon
• 15g Balsamic vinegar

Methods:

• Defrost the Brussels sprouts in the microwave, if frozen.
• Cut brussels sprouts into halves.
• Cover the bottom of a large cold pan with a thin layer of olive oil. Arrange brussels sprout halves on the pan in a single layer, cut side down.
• Fry on high heat until they brown. Then turn off the heat and cover them with a lid to tenderise them with steam.
• While they are cooking, toast almond flakes in a small pan. Grate the cheese. Zest the lemon.
• To make the dressing, combine Balsamic vinegar, olive oil (15g), lemon juice (30g) and zest.
• Once the brussels sprouts are ready, place them into a large bowl and mix them with the dressing.
• Add milled seeds, toasted almond flakes and grated Parmesan. Mix everything together.
