“Sprouts are like Marmite – you either love them or hate them – but I’m a true believer that the haters have probably only tried plain boiled sprouts,” says chef Gino D’Acampo.

“So I urge those people to please give this recipe a try and then decide. All my family love sprouts cooked this way, and, as a side dish, it can go with almost anything, from grilled fish to most roast meats.”

Equipment

  • Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
  • 150 g chorizo finely chopped
  • 500 g Brussels sprouts trimmed, then par-boiled for 5 minutes
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • fine sea salt

Method

  • Pour the olive oil into a shallow saucepan and set over a high heat. Add the onion and chilli and fry for three minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Add the chorizo and continue to fry for a further eight minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour in the par-boiled and well-drained Brussels sprouts, then add the maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to medium and fry for four minutes, stirring occasionally. So quick and easy, but the flavours together are amazing.
