Grilled pear salad and roasted Brussel sprouts with grilled chicken

Grilled pear salad

So this was last minute addition of side dish to the grilled chicken today as i saw three pears starting to look quite sad in the fruit bowl

• 3 pears cut into quarters

• Half onion chopped in long slices

• Mint leaves2tbsp

• Fresh thyme leaves 2tsp

• Feta cheese crumbled 2tbsp

• Olive oil 1.5tbsp

• Maple syrup 1tsp

• Salt and pepper to taste

Toss the pears with olive oil, and put them on hot grill or pan ,wait till little charred and then switch side,dont move too much

Remove and put in serving dish

Roast onion in oven at 400for 8-10 minutes or grill that too till little charred

Put in same dish as pears

Add mint and thyme leaves

Dash of salt and pepper

Drizzle bit of remaining olive oil and maple syrup on top and add crumbled feta at end

Im sure u can add other flavours like balsamic or lemon and sub with other herbs or add lettuce or greens too

I just used whatever i had handy and this was really really good

Roasted Brussel sprouts

This is one of my fav easiest side dishes

• 2cups Brussel sprouts halved

• 1/2tsp salt and black pepper

• 1/4-1/2 tsp chilli flakes

• 11/2tbsp olive oil

• 1tbsp maple syrup

• 2-3tbsp balsamic vinegar

• 4tbsp mayonnaise

• Pomegranate for garnishing-optional

Toss the Brussel sprouts with olive oil salt pepper and chilli flakes

Roast at 400 for 8-12 minutes till slightly charred

In a pan on stove add maple syrup and balsamic and add Brussel sprouts cook on high for 1-2 minutes till sauce thickens

In the serving plate spread mayonnaise and add the warm Brussel sprouts with the sauce

Add pomegranate if u wish

This is sooooo delicious

My kids May disagree 😒but this is the only way they atleast try the Brussel sprouts
