Once they've turned golden I add the brussel tops, thinly sliced. Just as they're starting to wilt I add a lug of sesame oil to the wok and then turn the heat up a little. Once the pancetta is crispy and the brussel tops have wilted and you can smell the oil they're cooked. Hi all,

I think you might also be able to treat it like spinach and once fried or blanched mix through some feta and pine nuts with butter or lemon juice.

You could ask them for their recipe, but I think it is quite simple. I would guess that they simply blanch them in boiling water, and then braise them in butter, much like you would do with the sprouts themselves. My problem here in Texas is finding them!

They are sweeter and milder than the sprouts themselves. Even the kids love them. Gently steam them and add a smattering of butter and a grind of black pepper to finish.
