Buttered Brussels Sprouts with Chestnuts & Sage
If it's Christmas, then there must be Brussels sprouts. Sweet and nutty, these organic greens are one of our favourite seasonal veg. These sprouts are steam-fried – cooked on the hob with a mix of oil and water – till they're bright green and tender but still with some bite. Creamy chestnuts, caramelised onions and a pinch of sage elevate this dish from side to super star.
Ingredients
- 800g Brussels sprouts
- 1 onion
- 200g cooked & peeled chestnuts
- A handful of sage
- 50g butter
Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 15-20 mins
Method
1. Wash the Brussels sprouts. Trim off the bases so they’re flat. Pull off any ragged outer leaves. Halve any medium-sized sprouts, quarter any large ones and leave small sprouts whole. Trim, peel and dice the onion. Roughly chop the chestnuts. Pick the sage leaves off their stalks.
2. Pop a deep frying pan or wok on a medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp oil and the sage leaves. Fry for 30 secs-1 min till the sage leaves crisp up. Scoop them out of the pan and onto a piece of kitchen paper to drain.
3. Add the onion to the pan, adding a splash more oil if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Fry, stirring, for 5-8 mins till the onion is golden brown and starting to soften.
4. Add the Brussels sprouts and the chestnuts. Pour in 100ml water. Cook for 8 mins, stirring often, till the Brussels are bright green, a little browned and just tender. The water should have cooked off.
5. Add 50g butter to the pan and toss to melt the butter so it coats the Brussels. Crumble in the crisp sage leaves and toss to mix. Transfer to a serving dish and serve.
