Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Cut the potatoes into 2cm cubes. Remove any scruffy outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Put the potatoes in a large pan and cover with boiling water. Bring back to the boil and simmer for 3 mins. Add the sprouts. Cook for 2 mins, then drain.

  • 2.

    Tip the flaked almonds into a dry frying pan. Toast for 2-3 mins until golden. Remove the pan from the heat. Put the almonds into a small bowl. Zest and juice the orange. Finely chop the parsley stalks.

  • 3.

    Peel and finely slice the red onion. Peel and crush the garlic. Snip the pancetta into small pieces with a pair of scissors. Finely slice the sun dried tomatoes.

  • 4.

    Warm the frying pan for 2 mins over a medium heat. Drizzle 1 tbsp oil into the warm frying pan. Cook the onion, garlic, pancetta and sun dried tomatoes for 3 mins till the onion is soft and the pancetta is crisp. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon.

  • 5.

    Keep the pan on the heat and tip in the potatoes and sprouts. Cook for 5 mins, tossing regularly. Some sides of the potatoes should be golden and crisp. The sprouts will begin to blacken.
