Pomegranate Glazed Quail Salad With Orange Vinaigrette And Spicy Pecans Recipes

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH POMEGRANATE ORANGE VINAIGRETTE AND PECANS

Steps:

• Trim the top and bottom of each orange. Put the oranges on one flat end and remove the rest of the rind in strips. Working over a bowl (to catch the juice) slice just to the left and right of each membrane, freeing each perfect wedge. Slice each segment in half crosswise and set aside. Squeeze the rest of the juice from the empty membranes into the bowl.
• Make the vinaigrette: To the bowl with the orange juice, add the vinegar, molasses, orange zest, and salt and pepper to taste, and whisk to combine. Slowly add the oil, whisking until emulsified.
• Toss the salad: In a large bowl, combine the shaved sprouts, the reserved orange segments, and the pomegranate seeds, add the vinaigrette, and toss to combine. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving or cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Transfer to a platter and garnish with pecans.

Bake until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pans, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
• Put the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl and squeeze in the juice from half of the remaining clementine. Stir to make a thick glaze, adding the juice from the remaining clementine half as needed. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins and let set 10 minutes.
