Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Put the brussels sprouts in the pan, cut-side down, and leave them to fry for 10-15 mins, tossing occasionally. If they’re just lightly brown, carry on cooking for a further 5 mins until blistered.

  • step 2

    Scatter over the pistachios and stir-fry until toasted. Remove from the heat and stir through the pomegranate seeds. Season with salt and tip into a serving dish. Drizzle with a little pomegranate molasses, if you like.

I have now made this three times for Xmas dinner. It works with a traditional version and, this year, I made the duck and clementine tagine (also BBC Good Food) and it complimented it well. Everyone loves it. I have never been able to find pomegranate molasses in the supermarkets near me, but…

Its a dry recipe but I improved it by making a pomegranate syrup with pomegranate juice and brown sugar reduced to a syrup and I also threw in diced chicken into the pan to make it a wholesome meal

Do you think the sauce that you’ve made would be good for just the sprouts?

This is tasty, but very dry and the way i did it the pistachios were barely or not at all noticeable (but expensive). In my view something is not right about this recipe unless you have it with a meat dish and loads of gravy.

I think that's the point. The intro says clearly that it's a side for a Christmas dinner, which normally means a meat dish and lots of gravy.
