1 cup pickled raisins (recipe below)
1/2 cup mustard vinaigrette (recipe below)
Pickled Raisins
4 teaspoons yellow and brown mustard seeds
1 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
2 bay leaves
10 ounces golden raisins
2 teaspoons thyme

1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon thyme
1 Tablespoon dill
1 Tablespoon cilantro
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 cups olive oil
Salt to taste

Pickled Raisins: Heat mustard seeds in a dry skillet on medium heat. Remove from heat once the seeds start to pop, approximately 2 minutes. Combine the toasted mustard seeds, 1 cup water and the rest of the ingredients in a small non-aluminum pan. Bring to a boil, then turn heat to low. Simmer 6-8 minutes until liquid has reduced by half. Let cool and store in the refrigerator.
Mustard Vinaigrette: Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and whip together.
Brussels Sprout Salad: Toss all ingredients for the salad and pickled raisins together, toss with the vinaigrette and serve immediately.
