Stuffing meets sprouts in a meaty mash-up that will win over the anti-sprouts contingent! Feel free to adjust the ingredients with your favourite stuffing recipe
Ingredients
- 50g butter
- 1 onion , finely chopped
- 3 rashers smoked streaky bacon, chopped
- small bunch sage , finely chopped
- 3 good-quality pork sausages , skins removed
- 500g Brussels sprouts , trimmed and halved
- 150g cooked chestnuts , roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp breadcrumbs
Method
- STEP 1
Melt the butter over a low heat in a large, non-stick frying pan. Add the onion and cook for 10 mins until soft. Increase the heat to medium and stir in the bacon, sage and sausagemeat. Cook for 6-8 mins, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon, until starting to brown.
- STEP 2
Tip in the sprouts and chestnuts, cover with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 mins until the sprouts are tender. Keep them warm over a low heat until you are ready to serve. Just before serving, take off the lid, season, stir in the breadcrumbs and fry on high for 2 mins to toast them and get some colour on the sprouts.
