Ingredients

240g can whole chestnuts, halve or quarter large chestnuts
500g Brussels sprouts, remove outer leaves and halve
6 rashers bacon, finely sliced
25g butter
1 Tbsp oil
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced

Handy Hint

Canned chestnuts need no preparation before cooking, so this meal takes just minutes to make.

Method

• Plunge the Brussels sprouts into a pan of boiling water and boil for two minutes.
• Drain well and refresh the sprouts under cold running water, then drain again.
Heat the butter and oil in a deep-sided frying pan or wok.

Add the bacon and fry until crispy, then add the garlic and cook for a few seconds.

Add the sprouts and chestnuts and stir-fry until all the ingredients are heated through.
