Brussels Sprout + Pom Side Dish


The holiday season is an amazing time of gathering of people you love, and food you love, too. But, we all have that one family member who insists on bringing their Jello marshmallow salad that always has you questioning what tradition spawned this creation. A La Cuisine! 

Be a side dish hero and bridge the gap between the proud carnivores in the family and the taunted vegans with this savoury, sweet, and satisfying Brussel sprout + pomegranate collaboration.

This recipe is especially perfect if you're hosting and have little ones running around the house.  Their little fingers are perfect for shelling pistachios (cheap labour), and you never know, it might quiet them down for a hot minute!

Depending on the number of people you're serving, this recipe is easily scalable -- just note that the Brussel sprouts will shrink almost half the size, so buy more than you think!  Pro tip: bring home the leftovers, this recipe tastes great the next day too.
