Ingredients
200g Brussels sprouts
Leftover roast chicken or turkey (however much you have, about 1 cup of shredded meat)
1 cup raw, organic sauerkraut (+ 2 tablespoons of sauerkraut juice)
1 large handful cooked chestnuts
3 tangerines
2 tablespoons dried cranberries (check they are unsulphured & unsweetened)
Salt & pepper
Preperation
- 01
Remove any tough outer leaves from the sprouts + the stalk, then halve & finely shred. Add to a large bowl with the sauerkraut, sauerkraut juice + the juice of 2 of the tangerines. Season with plenty of pepper & a pinch of salt, mix well & leave to sit.
- 02
Chop/shred your leftover meat into relatively similar sized pieces. Peel the reaming tangerine & halve the segments along the diagonal so they are similar sizes to the meat, then add both to the bowl & mix in well.

Finally roughly chop the chestnuts & cranberries, tumble everything together & either serve straight away or leave to sit & marinate for anywhere up to 3-4 days!

*You can also warm this through if you find raw sprouts too fibrous. The sauerkraut should help here but like I say, you can toss this quickly in a hot frying pan with a splash of water to steam everything should you wish to.
