the competition
And the winner of this year’s “Sprout Peddling Contest” is…
One Ms Nadja Sumichrast from Brixton!
Nadja actually truly did it. She submitted a recipe, right before the metaphorical whistle blew, and when I tasted it my very first thought was “oh botheration, I wish I’d made more!”
That does not happen to me when it comes to Brussels!
Thanks to everyone who submitted recipes, with a special thank you to Elizabeth Smith’s dog Millie! (Dog owners, we strongly recommend you read Millie’s suggestions.)
Here is the winning recipe, which earns Nadja a copy of the very beautiful “Grow Organic” courtesy of Natural Collection.
Ingredients:
(Serves 4 as part of a Christmas lunch)
I really did make it!
24 Brussels Sprouts
1 Apple
50g butter
3 tbsps olive oil
Method:
1. Whilst gently heating the butter and olive oil together in a heavy bottomed saucepan, prepare the sprouts and chop them into quarters
2. Add to the heated oil and butter and cook for 5 minutes, tossing gently in the pan now and then, until they just start to brown
3. Grate in the apple (skin too, if the apple is organic) and stir through the Brussels, cooking for another couple of minutes
4. Serve and devour!
So, will you be trying out Nadja’s recipe this week? If not, how will you be serving up your Brussels?
