Ingredients
- 1kg large Brussels sprouts, trimmed
- 200ml double cream
- 60g salted butter
Step by step
Get ahead
Blanch the sprouts the day before, cover and chill.
- Blanch the sprouts for 5-7 minutes until bright green and just tender when pierced with a knife. Drain well, refreshing in cold water to stop the cooking process. Leave in the colander until cool enough to handle, then slice the sprouts thinly.
- Bring the cream to a simmer in a wide frying pan and cook until reduced by half. Add the shredded sprouts and season with plenty of salt and pepper. Simmer for 7-10 minutes on a low heat, stirring every so often, until the sprouts have warmed through. Add the butter, stir to melt and serve.
