Ingredients
- 1.5kg Brussels sprouts
- ½ onion, finely chopped
- 25g butter
- ¼ bunch of thyme, leaves picked
- 4 oatcakes, crumbled
- 200g vacuum-packed cooked chestnuts, chopped
- sea salt flakes
Step by step
Get ahead
Prepare up to the end of step 2 a few hours ahead.
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Trim the sprouts and peel off the outer leaves. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil, add the sprouts and cook until almost al dente; 5-8 minutes depending on their size. Drain and tip into a bowl of iced water. Leave for a few minutes, then drain and dry on kitchen paper. Halve the sprouts and arrange in an ovenproof dish.
-
For the crumble, gently soften the onion in the butter with the thyme for 8-10 minutes. Whiz the oatcakes and ½ teaspoon of sea salt flakes in a food processor until crumbs form. Mix with the onions and chestnuts.
-
Sprinkle the chestnut crumble over the sprouts and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until golden.
