  Used this recipe with roast chicken, could not find chestnuts so used hazlenuts instead and halved amount as only needed to serve 4. It was delicious, the texture and flavour was totally yummy. Very easy to do, prepared it in advance and gave it a blast in microwave and it was perfect. Will be making it again and again.

  Why not maxivida? I am going to do this for Christmas lunch but cant get chestnuts ( live in Brisbane) so will use hazelnuts or almonds and a little chilli.

  If you are someone who has always wanted to like sprouts, but never quite been able to... this is for you! The cream gives a much milder flavour. I like sprouts, but absolutely could not get enough of these... I am still picking at them cold from the fridge! Although I live in the American South, I did manage to find chestnuts.. roasted them, ate half, and added the rest to the recipe. This was a big hit at Christmas, I will definitely be making this again- though next time it will have to be with something other than chestnuts :-(

  I couldn't find vacuum packed chestnuts, but followed the recipe otherwise and stirred in some cooked, chopped streaky bacon. Managed to get 2 packets of brussel sprouts eaten in one go on Christmas Day! Definitely saving this recipe.

  I made this without the chestnuts at Christmas last year, and it got gobbled up between the 6 of us!! My partner will only ever eat the obligatory sprout on Christmas day, but I managed to get him to eat half a bag of them by serving up this recipe, replacing the chestnuts with chopped unsmoked bacon, as a side to a chicken breast wrapped in Parmaham. I have also served these smashed sprouts with sausages and am considering trying it this evening with fish pie. Absolutely love this version of a vegetable I once couldn't stand!

  Didn't have any chestnuts either so bashed up some mixed nuts and added them instead. I don't like sprouts but I really enjoyed these smashed ones! I would definitely make again and would try the chestnuts as well as using my mixed nut variation.
