How to Make the Perfect Sprouts This Christmas

Brussel Sprouts with Pancetta

Serve up everyone’s festive favourite veg this Christmas with our delicious, easy to prepare recipe.

1. Prepare the sprouts by trimming the ends and removing any hard outer leaves.
2. The next step to delicious sprouts is to quickly place them in a large pan of boiling water for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and transfer them to icy cold water to stop the cooking process. This process is called blanching, and helps them to cook faster and maintains the delicious colour, flavour and nutrients after cooking.
3. In a large frying pan, or casserole dish, fry your pancetta with the garlic until crispy, then add the sprouts to the pan and cook for a further 2-3 minutes before serving.
