Buttered sprouts with walnuts, shallots and pomegranate

This would also work with cabbage or kale.

Method 

Steam the sprouts for 5-10 minutes until tender, then drain well.

Meanwhile, gently cook the shallots in the butter for 2-3 minutes until soft. Toast the walnuts on a baking tray in a hot oven for 5 minutes until they start to colour.

Mix all the ingredients together, season and serve.
