Shaved Brussels sprouts with walnuts, lemon and parmesan

Shaved Brussels sprouts with walnuts, lemon and parmesan

Use baby sprouts as they have a lovely nutty flavour and fresh Australian walnuts for their creamy texture. At the restaurant we use young Italian pecorino such as Caccio di Fossa or Pecorino Siciliano, but you can substitute with parmesan, as we’ve done here. — Danny Russo

Serves 6

Cooking Time Prep time 10 mins



200 gm   baby Brussels sprouts, halved lengthways, thinly sliced
1   lemon, juice only
