Oven-roasted, pan seared or deep-fried, all are delicious, but turning them into a slaw is now our new preferred version of eating them during the festive season."

1. Wash the Brussels sprouts and remove any unhealthy leaves on the outside. Using a Japanese mandoline, shave the entire brussels sprout, holding it by the stalk. Alternatively you can shred them in a food processor with the slicing blade attachment or use a sharp knife instead. Once you come to the stalk, stop shaving. These parts can be used in a stir-fry or stew if you don't want to waste them.
2. Fill a large bowl with cold water (ice water preferably) and place the brussels sprout shavings inside. This will crisp up the slaw and keep it fresh for hours.

4. In a bowl, combine the mustard, salt, pepper, and vinegar and drizzle the oil into it while whisking. Don't worry if the dressing doesn't emulsify. Add the raisins and put aside.
5. Remove the vegetables from the water and strain well. Combine the shaved brussels sprouts and onion in a bowl. Pour the dressing and combine well. Lastly, add the strained radishes and dill. Check the seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as required. Plate in a bowl and serve as a salad on its own or as a side dish.
