Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g Brussels sprouts
- 100 g Raw walnuts
- 50 g Romano cheese
- 60 ml Extra-virgin olive oil
- 30 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 15 ml Honey
- 10 ml Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the Brussels sprouts. Trim the stem ends and remove any discolored outer leaves. Use a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor with a slicing attachment to thinly shave the sprouts. Place the shaved sprouts in a large mixing bowl.
Toast the raw walnuts. Heat a small dry skillet over medium heat. Add the walnuts and toast them, stirring frequently, for about 3-5 minutes or until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly, then roughly chop the walnuts and set aside.
Grate the Romano cheese finely using a box grater or microplane and set aside for later use.
Prepare the dressing by combining the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until emulsified and smooth, or shake vigorously in a jar with a lid.
Pour the dressing over the shaved Brussels sprouts. Toss well to ensure the sprouts are evenly coated.
Add the toasted walnuts and grated Romano cheese to the bowl. Gently toss again to combine all the ingredients.
Taste the slaw and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the slaw immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
