Brussels Sprout appreciation.

You’d think they’d done something wrong to have them cooked like that

Sprout.

Been very happy since discovering you can whack them (and maybe some other veg) in the air fryer on roast for 10 minutes, blitz them with some walnuts and stock, and you have an amazing soup for pretty much no work.

This is where I diverge from the prevailing sittlichkeit on sprout cooking. A nicely boiled (bit of crunch) sprout is a truly marvellous thing. I’m sure I would devour a curry, soup, some kind of pancetta/olive/chestnut roast combo, but the flavour of a sprout just on its own is perfection.

This is a favourite - seems a bit early for sprouts in our closest Asda though, £1 for 200g. The recipe also works with savoy cabbage while you wait for the sprout price to come down .

Innit? 😬

i'm sure i heard a chef, on something like r.4's the kitchen cabinet this week, say he liked his sprouts boiled till they're mushy, non of this al dente rubbish.

This is a regular dinner for us this time of year, bloody delicious

Sounds like the sort of thing Jay Rayner would come out with
