Ingredients

  • 500 g Brussels Sprouts halved
  • 1 knob of butter
  • 140 g pancetta
  • 180 g cooked whole chestnuts Merchant Gourmet do good packets, chopped

Instructions

  • Cut the sprouts in half, and boil just for a few minutes so they are a little softer. (If you can smell sprouts when you’re boiling them - you’ve overcooked them )
  • Meanwhile, fry the pancetta until crispy, add the chopped chestnuts and then set aside. Fry the sprouts in a little butter for a few minutes until golden and gorgeous. Then mix everything together in the pan and tuck in.

Notes

If you want another delicious way to make Brussels Sprouts that is not as traditional, my Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with crispy bacon, almonds and pecorino is one of the best salads ever!
