Course number three on our ten-course New Year’s Eve dinner this year was a Duck Breast Pastrami dish with a shaved Brussel Sprout Salad. Our Hartstone Inn guests raved about the brussel sprout salad and we have received a flurry of requests for the recipe. Here it is – we hope you enjoy it at home!
