Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 pound (500g) Brussels Sprouts
• 9 oz (250g) chestnuts
• 2 tbsp (30g) butter
• 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
• 1 onion , finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves
• 3-4 tbsp water
• salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

 

• Mark chestnuts with an X on flat side. Bring a pan of water to the boil over medium high-heat. Drop in the chestnuts and boil for about 6-8 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
• Remove few chestnuts from the pan leaving the others in the water until ready to peel. Using a knife remove the shell and skin while chestnuts are still hot. 
• Put the peeled chestnuts in a pan with milk and enough water to completely cover them and simmer over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside. 
• Remove any yellow leaves from the Brussels sprout, trim the roots and mark an X on the underside to cook evenly.
• Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened. Add the Brussel Sprouts and water and cook covered over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more water if necessary. 
• Add the chestnuts and toss the mixture to combine and cook for a few minutes until the sprouts and chestnuts are heated through. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot as a holiday side dish.
