Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and sizzle the shallots for 5 mins until starting to colour. Sprinkle over the sugar, stir well, then add the raisins and vinegar. Simmer for 5 mins to make a sticky mix, then set aside.
  2. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, then tip in the sprouts. Cook for 5 mins, then drain well, add to the shallot pan and toss everything together. Serve scattered with flaked almonds and a sprinkling of paprika, if you like.

    made this for Christmas but wish I'd stuck to chestnuts. The sprouts need longer than said and although it is good to re-heat I missed the mix with chestnuts for the big day.

    I am not a sprout person and only eat them when dining at someone else's house (because I know they're good for you)... Last Christmas I decided to try this and it makes them much more edible! I'm actually commenting because I'm planning them in to this years menu!
