Quick Brussels And Bacon Food

BRILLIANT BRUSSELS

Steps:

• Peel and chop the onions, then pick and finely chop the sage leaves.
• Place a large pan on a high heat to get nice and hot. Slice the bacon into chunky strips and put in the pan with a drizzle of oil, then immediately turn the heat down to medium. Fry for a few minutes, or until lightly golden, then crumble in the chestnuts.
• Fry for about 5 minutes, or until deep golden, then add the onions and sage. Turn the heat down to low and cook slowly for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, trim the Brussels and peel away any tatty outer leaves, halving any larger ones through the core and keeping the smaller ones whole.
• Place the Brussels in a large saucepan over a high heat for a couple of minutes, then, once the pan is nice and hot, cover with boiling salted water.
• Boil for 5 minutes, or until just tender but with a little bite. Taste to check - they should be slightly undercooked.
• Drain the Brussels, then stir through the chestnut mixture, scraping up any lovely sticky bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Add the butter and season to perfection, then serve right away, or cover and store in the fridge, reheating in the pan when needed.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND BACON RECIPE

Steps:

• Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy.
