Method

1
Cut the Brussels sprouts into halves, discard outer leaves if needed, remove the stem of cavolo nero, and chop the leaves coarsely.
2
Cut the peel off the oranges, making sure to remove the white pith by working from top to bottom while rotating the orange. Cut in between the white pith to cut each orange segment loose. Leave on a tray for later.
3
In a dry frying pan, toast the pine nuts until golden brown. Remove from the heat and save for later.
4
Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the Brussels sprouts for about 5 minutes until they start browning at the edges.
5
Add the cavolo nero and chilli and fry for 2-3 minutes more. Add orange juice and mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP
Forgot to buy cavolo nero? Use savoy cabbage instead. Their similar flavour profile will taste equally delicious with the Brussels sprouts. Just remember that savoy cabbage will need slightly less sautéing in the butter as it tenderises faster.
6
Add orange segments and mix gently so they do not break. Turn the heat off.
7
Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and serve right away.
TIP
Preparing and planning is key during busy times like Christmas. You can prepare everything for this Christmas salad the day before, so you only need to spend 10 minutes cooking it just before serving.
