- 500g Brussels sprouts, tips cut off, discolored leaves removed and sliced in half
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- Salt
- 40g dried Goji berries
- 75g crumbled goat cheese
- 30g walnuts
- 150g couscous
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
-
Preheat the oven (and a parchment lined baking sheet) to 275°C, on grill stand
-
Meanwhile, cook the couscous according to the instructions on the package
-
In a medium sized bowl, toss the prepared Brussels sprouts with olive oil and salt. Toss well, so that the sprouts are evenly coated in a thin layer of oil.
-
Once the oven is preheated, get out the baking sheet and pour the Brussels sprouts onto the parchment
-
Put the baking sheet back in the oven and let the Brussels sprouts broil for about 5-10 minutes. Check the sprouts for doneness—their tops should be a little browned and the bottoms caramelized.
-
Meanwhile, toast the walnuts. Just heat them for a couple of minutes over medium heat in a nonstick pan without any oil or fat. Make sure not to let them burn!
-
Toss the couscous, sprouts, Goji berries, crumbled goat’s cheese and toasted walnuts onto a plate and drizzle with balsamic vinegar and honey. Season with salt to taste.
