Brussels sprouts with bacon and chestnuts

Background

Brussels sprouts are so much a part of a traditional Christmas dinner - yet so many people seem to detest them. They really can be very tasty if you combine them with other food that complement their bitterness. This Brussels sprouts with bacon and chestnuts is a delicious side-dish that goes well with roast turkey, goose or pheasant. Also, it can be made in advance and warmed up just before serving.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil
500g Brussels sprouts
100g smoked bacon or lardons
200g shallot onions
200g roasted chestnuts (peeled)

Instructions

Slice the bacon into thin strips.
Clean the sprouts then blanche them in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, then drain again.
Peel the shallots and cut them in half. Heat the oil in a frying pan then sauté them until soft and golden. Transfer to a plate.
In the same pan fry the bacon pieces until crispy. Add the chestnuts, fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the sprouts & shallots, warm through.
Serve warm.

Tips

You can use vacuum-packed chestnuts too for this recipe.
