ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the halved brussels sprouts and the drained chickpeas on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
KALE
Place the shredded kale in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and seasoning. When the brussels sprouts have 8-10 minutes remaining, give the tray a shift and scatter over the dressed kale. Roast for the remaining time.
TOAST
Place the cranberry & seed mix in a pan over medium heat. Toast until lightly charred & golden, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
AVO & DRESSING
Halve the avocado and remove the pip. Peel the skin off, keeping the flesh intact. In a bowl, add ¼ of the avocado, the yoghurt, and the lemon juice (to taste). Mix to combine. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Dice the remaining avocado and season.
TIME TO EAT
Make a bed of the roast veg & chickpeas. Scatter over the sliced pear, the diced avocado, and the chopped trout. Drizzle over the dressing and garnish with the toasted cranberry & seed mix. Indulge, Chef!
