Parmesan Brussels sprouts

Ingredients:

  • 500g brussels sprouts
  • olive oil
  • almond flakes
  • Parmesan-style cheese
  • 1 lemon
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Milled seeds (flaxseeds, sunflower, pumkin, hemp, chia, etc.)

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 some Parmesan. Zest a lemon.
  • Place brussels sprouts in a large bowl together with all the oil from the pan. Add a juice of the whole lemon and a generous splash of balsamic vinegar.
  • Add milled seeds, toasted almond flakes, grated Parmesan and lemon zest. Mix everything together.
