I tried Jamie Oliver's 'best ever' Brussels sprouts recipe with one secret ingredient
Share:
Some love Brussels sprouts and some hate them - but this recipe will make everyone go in for second helpings. They are more of a controversial festive offering, but Jamie Oliver has promised to make everyone fall in love with the green veggie thanks to his recipe with one secret ingredient.
While I can't say I am usually a huge fan of the love-it-or-hate-it vegetable - I usually add one or two to my plate for the sake of Christmas, but now I am a serious sprout lover thanks to this recipe, and will be eating some pretty huge helpings. So, for those ready to take on the task of cooking the Christmas dinner, here's the recipe...
The ingredients you'll need are:. 800g Brussels sprouts. 2 higher-welfare Cumberland sausages. ½ a bunch of fresh sage (15g). 20g unsalted butter. 1 onion. 1 sweet eating apple. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. The apple brings sweetness, while the sausages and Worcestershire sauce (the secret ingredient) makes the dish ultra savoury. I love the idea of using sausage rather than bacon here as you get the same salty hit with more depth and richness. The good thing about this recipe is that you can either cook them on the day, or prepare them a day or two in advance and crisp them up in the oven just before serving. This recipe has a rating of "not too tricky" so for a novice like me, it was perfect.
