Black Garlic Festive Brussel Sprout Slaw

Prep: 10 mins + chilling | Cook: none | Serves: 6 as a side salad

Ingredients

  • 4 rashers smoked streaky bacon
  • 500g fresh Brussel sprouts – outer leaves removed, tough ends trimmed – sprouts shredded
  • 2 large carrots – peeled and grated
  • 1 red onion – peeled, halved and finely sliced into half moons*
  • 8 tbsp BGK’s Black Garlic Mayonnaise or commercially available Black Garlic Mayonnaise
  • ¼ tsp Black Garlic Sea Salt or table salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp hot honey or honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 eating apple – cored, chopped and acidulated with lemon juice
  • 100g Stilton cheese – crumbled
  • 6 cloves Black Garlic – chopped
  • Extra salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
 

Garnish (optional)

  • Mixed seeds
  • Dried cranberries
  • Pomegranate seeds
  • Chopped pecan nuts 

Method

  • Heat a dry frying pan until hot and dry-fry the bacon rashers for 2 minutes on each side until crispy and cooked through. Snip the fried bacon into pieces using kitchen scissors. Set aside.
  • Add the prepared sprouts, carrots and red onion to a large mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the Black Garlic Mayonnaise, salt, pepper, honey, mustard and vinegar.
  • Add the mayonnaise mixture to the bowl of grated vegetables. Stir through the apple, snipped bacon, cheese and chopped Black Garlic cloves. Mix until everything is well combined.
  • Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. NB The sprouts will soften but retain crunch.
  • When ready to serve, taste the slaw, season to your preference if necessary.
  • Pile the slaw into a serving bowl. Garnish with mixed seeds, dried cranberries, pomegranate seeds or chopped pecan nuts if using.
 

Top Tip:* for milder red onion with less of a ‘bite’, soak the sliced onion in cold water for 5-10 minutes. Drain well.
