Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Put the sprouts in the pan, cut-side down, and leave them to sizzle away happily for 10 mins without disturbing them.
- Halfway through cooking, dot over the butter and leave it to sizzle and brown - the sprouts need to be really crispy and dark brown. If they are just lightly brown, carry on cooking for another 5-10 mins.
- Scatter over the sesame seeds and stir-fry everything until the seeds are toasted. Off the heat, toss through the pomegranate seeds, then season the sprouts with salt and tip into a serving dish. Drizzle with the pomegranate molasses before serving.

Tips for Making Perfect Brussels Sprouts with Sesame Seeds:
- Choose Fresh Brussels Sprouts: Look for firm, bright green sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any sprouts that are yellowed, wilted, or have brown spots.
- Trim and Clean the Sprouts: Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves. Trim the stem end of each sprout and rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
- Cook the Sprouts Properly: You can boil, steam, or roast the sprouts. Boiling is the quickest method, but steaming or roasting will give you more flavorful results.
- Season Generously: Brussels sprouts love bold flavors. Season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and any other herbs or spices you like.
- Don't Overcook: Brussels sprouts should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Add Sesame Seeds at the End: Toasting the sesame seeds before adding them to the dish will enhance their flavor. Add them just before serving for the best results.
Conclusion:
Brussels sprouts with sesame seeds is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. With their slightly bitter flavor and nutty crunch, Brussels sprouts are a great addition to any meal. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give Brussels sprouts with sesame seeds a try!
