Ingredients
- Cooked chestnuts (180g)
- Pancetta (60g, sliced into small pieces)
- Olive oil (1 1/2 tbsp)
- Brussel sprouts (450g, trimmed and halved)
- Lemon wedge (1, juice only)
- Shallots (2, peeled and halved)
- Garlic cloves (2, minced)
- Black pepepr (To taste)
- Chicken stock cube (1 + 60ml water)
Method
Begin by preheating your oven to 225c.
Add the brussel sprouts, pancetta, garlic and olive oil to an oven proof roasting tray and toss together. Add the halved shallots and black pepper to taste.
Place the tray at the top third of the oven and cook for 25 minutes. Boil a kettle and add 60ml water to a chicken stock cube and mix completely until dissolved.
Take out the sprouts half way through and add the chestnuts before tossing everything together. Place back in the oven to cook for the remaining time.
Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and pour over the water, making sure to mix everything together including the crispy pancetta bits.
Squeeze a wedge of lemon over the tray bake.
Serve & enjoy!
