Ingredients400g brussels sprouts,
(halved or quartered if large) 1 tsp salt 45g walnuts (or pine or pecan nuts) 50g butter 4 slices streaky or back bacon 1 lemon (zest & juice) freshly ground salt & black pepper |
MethodAdd the brussels sprouts to a saucepan and cover with water.
Toss in the salt and bring to a boil over a high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 min until just tender. Drain well. Gently crush the walnuts to a fairly rough consistency. Heat a frying pan to hot and lightly toast the nuts until they are hot (about 5 mins). Remove to a separate bowl. Finely dice or slice the bacon. In the same frying pan and over a high heat, melt the butter and stir-fry the diced bacon for about 10 mins until crispy. Toss in the brussels sprouts, lemon zest & juice and walnuts and fold gently to combine. Season with salt & pepper to taste, transfer to a serving dish and serve. |
