Roasted sprouts, chorizo and chestnuts
Ingredients: (serves 4 as a side)
• 1 kilogram of Brussels sprouts
• 150 grams raw higher-welfare chorizo
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 100 grams chestnuts
• 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon vinegar (red wine is great)
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 celsius.
2. Wash and trim 1 kilogram of Brussels sprouts.
3. Cook for 8 minutes in a pan of boiling salted water, then drain well.
4. Squeeze the raw chorizo out of its skin, crumbling it into a roasting tray with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
5. On the hob, fry over a medium heat for 6 minutes, until you have ruby oil, then crumble in 100 grams of chestnuts, strip in the leaves from 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary and shake all ingredients about.
6. Tip in the sprouts and toss in 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Squash and flatten the sprouts with a potato masher so they suck up more flavour.
7. Roast for 25 minutes, or until starting to colour.
8. Season to perfection, serve and enjoy!
