  1. Into a food processor, add steamed
    squash, 1^1 / 2 cups breadcrumbs, flour,
    vinegar, coconut nectar, red chili flakes, and
    salt. Pulse until well blended, then fold in
    green onions.

  2. In a shallow dish, place remaining^1 / 2
    cup breadcrumbs. Scoop^1 / 2 cup squash
    mixture, roll in panko, and flatten into a
    3-inch patty. In a large nonstick skillet over
    medium-high heat, warm oil. Add 1 patty
    and cook until golden, about 4 minutes per
    side. Repeat for all patties.

  3. For the slaw, place slicing disk in food
    processor and feed Brussels sprouts
    through to thinly slice and set aside.
    Alternatively, using a very sharp knife,
    carefully slice into thin shreds. In a small
    bowl, whisk olive oil, agave nectar, lemon
    juice, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and
    garlic powder. Toss Brussels sprouts in
    dressing.

  4. On a serving platter, arrange patties.
    Top with slaw, sprinkle with pomegranate
    seeds and pistachios, and serve.


POM
WONDERFUL

Don’t be intimidated by the
complex pomegranate—the
reward is worth the work! To get
at the juicy seeds, start by rolling
the whole fruit on the countertop
while applying a little pressure to
loosen the seeds inside. Carefully
score the skin and break in half
crosswise. Hold one half, seed
side down, over a bowl and
gently squeeze seeds out while
tapping the skin with your hand
or a wooden spoon. The seeds
will fall into the water. Scoop
them up, remove any
remaining pith, and enjoy!
