Help do I need to put my sprouts in water?

[wangle99]

am preparing sprouts now to put in the fridge but not sure if they need to go in water or not? thanks

I would.

not really, you can put them in a sealed bag. Takes up less space and can be squisshed into a gap too

thank you

I always boil them up on christmas eve for 5 mins or so, and stored them in a bowl covered in cling film.

That said I stir fry them with pancetta on the day, is quick and easy. And you don't get stinky sprout fug in the kitchen on christmas day (hate the smell of sprouts)

Do you put anything else with them and the pancetta? just a drop of oil? how long do they take to cook?
