Ingredients

  • 250 g Sprouts - this works out at 6 sprouts per person, for 4 people, adjust this as you want
  • 80 g Chestnuts - cooked
  • 300 ml Vegetable stock - or water
  • 1 tsp Butter - vegan
  • Salt and pepper
  • Parsley - to garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Heat the butter in a heavy bottomed frying pan and add the cooked chestnuts. Fry them for a minute or so to give them a little toasty colour.
  • Now throw in the raw sprouts and coat them in this mixture.
  • Add the stock and some salt and pepper and bring up to gently simmer.
  • Uncovered, cook the sprouts until all the water has evaporated. You may want to add a little more water if you like your sprouts a little more tender.
  • Taste for seasoning, sprinkle with a little chopped parsley and serve!

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
