Here is a recipe using Brussels sprouts which is ideal for a winter lunch or supper.

sprouts with bacon

Ingredients for 2 people:

  • 14 cleaned Brussels sprouts
  • medium onion peeled & chopped
  • 4 rashers of bacon chopped
  • rapeseed oil for frying
  • black pepper

Method:

  • place the sprouts in boiling water & par-boil until just crunchy (about 8 minutes)
  • drain the sprouts
  • as the sprouts are cooking, fry the onion and bacon until crunchy in the rapeseed oil
  • add the partly cooked sprouts to the frying mixture, and stir in for about 3 minutes
  • grind some black pepper over the mixture
  • serve!

Time: about 15 minutes from start to finish

We used Bridget sprouts & Woburn Country Foods black back bacon as it gave it a sweet, smoky flavour.

This is another sprout recipe to add the  GreatBigVegetableChallenge list!

Served with a baked potato, it was a great Sprout Supper!
