SUNNY’S PIZZA WOOD ROASTED BRUSSELS


INGREDIENTS
100g black pearl barley
2 juicy oranges
1 tbsp seeded mustard
300 ml olive oil
75 ml sherry vinegar
100 g crème fraîche
2 sprigs of dill, chopped
10 slices of pancetta or capocollo
250 g Brussels sprouts, halved
Salt and pepper to taste

METHOD
Preheat the oven to 200°c. Boil the pearl barley for 25-30 minutes in two litres of salted water. The barley should retain a slight chew. Drain and cool.

To prepare the dressing, hold the oranges directly over a gas burner or open flame using tongs until the oranges are nicely charred. Set aside to cool, then juice.

In a food processor, combine the orange juice, mustard, 125ml olive oil, sherry vinegar and cracked pepper.

Pulse on high speed until it comes together like a thin mayonnaise, then taste. The dressing should be predominantly orange-sweet, with a hint of mustard and acid from the sherry vinegar. Add the crème fraîche to a mixing bowl. Fold in the dill and some cracked pepper, then refrigerate until needed.

Cook the pancetta under a grill until golden and crispy. Set aside.

Add remaining olive oil to a large heavy-based pan and heat until just before the smoking point.

Place the Brussels sprouts in the pan cut side down and cook for about 3 minutes until the cut side is a dark golden colour

Turn all the sprouts, sprinkle with salt and place in the preheated oven to finish cooking (about 5 minutes).

Toss the Brussels sprouts in a bowl with the barley, a liberal amount of burnt-orange dressing and a pinch of salt. Transfer to a serving bowl or plate and finish with blobs of creme fraiche and the crispy pancetta. Enjoy!
