Whether you love them or hate them there’s one thing we can can promise you this Christmas, Brussel sprouts are here to stay! With a guesstimated 2/3rds of brussel consumed over the festive season there’s more than one reason you should give sprouts a second go! So before we share our favourite festive recipe idea here’s a few of our favourite festive facts to inspire you in the kitchen this Christmas.
1.5kg Brussel spouts trimmed and scored
300 g of smoked bacon lardons
300g peeled chestnuts
10 g peeled garlic
75 g butter
Salt and pepper
In boiling salted water blanch off the sprouts til they are just turning tender, place straight into iced water so the sprouts keep their colour once cool drain and cut in half
In a frying pan heat half the butter and add the bacon and cook until just starting to crisp up.
Then add the halved chestnuts into the pan along with the chopped garlic, toss altogether once mixed, throw in the sprout halves and the rest of the butter, season up and serve once hot
For an extra festive finish add some shaved berkswell cheese or hard cheese of your choice.
