Method:

ClemenGold® and Ginger Dressing:

  1. Combine all of the ingredients, except the olive oil, in a blender and whizz together.
  2. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Black Rice:

  1. Rinse the black rice well; drain the water and then place in a saucepan with the chicken stock and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  2. Bring to the boil, turn the heat down and cook for 20-25 minutes until all of the water has been absorbed.

Brussel Sprouts:

  1. Warm the olive oil in a pan. Add the Brussel sprouts cut side down, sprinkle with salt and pan fry until slightly charred on the cut side.
  2. Turn the heat up to high, add the ClemenGold® juice and fry for another minute. Set aside.
  3. Peel the ClemenGold® mandarins and, using a sharp knife, slice lengthways into rounds (see image).
  4. Grill the bacon in the oven at 180 °C until crispy.
  5. Toast the almonds in a dry pan until they just start to char.

To Assemble:

  1. Mix all of the leaves together, toss with the Brussel sprouts and black rice.
  2. Top with ClemenGold® slices, toasted almonds and baby radishes.
  3. Adjust the seasoning, drizzle with the ClemenGold® and ginger dressing and serve.
