Brussels sprouts might just be the most maligned vegetable of the vegetable kingdom. But with a little know-how, they’re the superstars of winter cooking.
Shred the sprouts finely and add them to a crunchy slaw – it’s the perfect foil to richer dishes like a roast chicken or slow-cooked lamb shoulder. But to unlock Brussels sprouts’ full flavour potential, give them the heat treatment – roast or pan-fry them until they’re lovely and charred, and pair them with salty cured meats like pancetta or bacon. Treat them right, and you’ll convert even the most stubborn haters.
