Ingredients

 For the salad  


   300g of brussels sprouts  

   120g of peas  

   A handful of fresh parsley  

   2 oranges, segmented  

   A small handful of dried cranberries  

 



  

 For the salad dressing  


   Juice of 2 clementines  

   Juice of 1/2 lemon  

   1 tbsp of mustard  

   3 tbsp of olive oil  

   Salt &amp; pepper  

 



  

 For the chestnut cashew cream  


   200g of roasted cashews  

   30g of Dijon mustard  

   30ml of apple cider vinegar  

   15g of nutritional yeast  

   30g of olive oil  

   50g of tofu  

   150ml of water  

   1 tsp of tamari  

   1 pinch of salt  

   1 tsp of maple syrup  

   100g of chestnuts  

   1/2 tsp of cinnamon  

   1/2 tsp of nutmeg  

   1/2 tsp of cardamom  

 



  

 For the vegan bacon  


   2 tbsp of nutritional yeast  

   1/2 tbsp of maple syrup  

   2 tbsp of tamari  

   1/4 tsp of garlic powder  

   1/2 - 3/4 of liquid smoke (available online)  

   1/2 - 3/4 tsp of smoked paprika  

   2 tbsp of olive oil  

   6-8 slices of rice paper  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

To make the vegan bacon, mix all the marinade ingredients together and stir well, adding olive oil last, until you have a nice emulsion.



 Step 2 

Carefully cut the rice paper into strips – however thin you’d like them.



 Step 3 

Brush well with the marinade and bake on a baking sheet at 200C for three minutes. Watch it like a hawk – you want a nice dark colour, but catch it just before it starts to burn.



 Step 4 

Finely slice the sprouts, or use a mandolin to slice them very thinly.



 Step 5 

Blanch the peas in boiling water for a minute or two, to soften but keep a crunch.



 Step 6 

Finely chop the parsley, segment the oranges and chop the cranberries into small pieces.



 Step 7 

Stir all the dressing ingredients together, and stir the salad in a bowl.



 Step 8 

Now make the chestnut cashew cream by simply adding all the ingredients to a food processor and blending until smooth and creamy.



 Step 9 

Place the salad on a plate, piping or spooning the chestnut cashew cream onto the salad and then adding the ‘bacon’ either as strips or chopped on the top.
