Brussels sprouts are a classic Christmas side dish – and the butt of jokes. Learn to love these veggies with recipe ideas using either chorizo, sage, or soy.
How to make your sprouts extra special:
Cook 400g trimmed Brussels sprouts in simmering water for 2 mins then drain and steam. Dry the sprouts. Cool them quickly and chill them until needed. This can be done up to two days before Christmas Day. When you're ready to serve the sprouts, add your choice of flavouring and reheat according to the instructions below.
