Top tips for making Brussels sprouts with chestnuts
Overcooking is the biggest enemy of Brussels sprouts. Not only does it drain them of their beautiful emerald colour and turn them a depressing beige, it causes them to release the sulphurous smell that put so many people off sprouts in the 1980s. If you want to boil them in advance you can. Cook them for a minute or so less, then run under cold water briefly before you set them aside. When you’re ready, coat them in the hot butter and make sure they’re properly warmed through in the pan.
