Festive smashed potato salad with Brussels sprouts and chestnuts. Finished with a green goddess dressing with tahini, herbs and pomegranates
For the salad:
Olive oil
750g baby potatoes
300g brussels sprouts
180g cooked chestnuts
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Handful of pomegranate seeds
Handful of parsley, leaves picked
Handful of dill, leaves picked
Dressing:
100g greek yoghurt
80g mayo
15g parsley, leaves picked
1 tbsp tahini
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 lemon, juiced
Preheat the oven to 220C fan. Place the potatoes in a saucepan covered with cold salted water. Bring to the boil and cook for 10-15 minutes until cooked and a fork easily pierces through. Drain and leave to dry. Transfer to a lightly oiled baking tray. Use a glass to carefully squash the potatoes. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 30-40 minutes until crispy and golden.
Trim and half the Brussel sprouts and place in a bowl with the chestnuts. Drizzle with olive oil, the cumin, nutmeg and cinnamon and season. Spread on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile make the dressing by placing the mayo, parsley, tahini, mustard and lemon juice in a blender and blending until smooth. Stir through the yoghurt and taste to season.
Mix the potatoes, sprouts and chestnuts with the picked herbs. Pile onto a platter and drizzle with the dressing. Top with pomegranates to serve.
