Balsamic Glaze

Method

Brussels Sprouts Preparation

  1. 1

    Trim and Halve

    Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half.

  2. 2

    Season

    In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Roast

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender, tossing halfway through.

Pomegranate Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Pomegranate Seeds

    While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the pomegranate seeds by removing them from the fruit and set aside.

Spiced Candied Walnuts Preparation

  1. 5

    Toast Walnuts

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the walnuts and toast them for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Candy Walnuts

    Add brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and water to the skillet with the walnuts. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and coats the walnuts, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 7

    Cool Walnuts

    Transfer the candied walnuts onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them cool completely.

Balsamic Glaze Preparation

  1. 8

    Reduce Balsamic Vinegar

    In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes, or until it thickens and reduces to about half its original volume.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large serving bowl, combine the roasted Brussels sprouts, pomegranate seeds, and spiced candied walnuts.

  2. 10

    Drizzle and Serve

    Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature.
