Ingredients
Method
Brussels Sprouts
1. Cook off the sprouts in salted boiling water for 5-10 minutes until tender and drain. Refresh in ice water. Remove and drain well.
2. Heat some butter in a pan. Add the smoked bacon lardons and fry well until the bacon is golden and crispy.
3. Then add the almonds and fry until they are golden brown in colour followed by the drained brussels sprouts. Colour the sprouts until they take a bit colour.
4. Finish by adding the remaining butter so the sprouts get roasted properly. Then drain through a colander.
5. Season with salt and pepper, add the sliced chestnuts and toss well. Serve immediately in a large bowl.
