Ingredients

tbsp
olive oil
500
grams
Brussel sprouts
stems trimmed and loose outer leaves removed, then cut in half through the stem
200
grams
cooked chestnuts
100
grams

Instructions
Heat 1 tbsp oil and then saute the bacon lardons until crispy, then set aside.
Heat the remaining oil in a pan large enough to hold the Brussel sprouts. Add the sprouts and then sauté over a medium heat until they go a bright green colour and can almost be pierced with a fork - about 8-10 minutes.
Add the chestnuts and bacon lardons to the pan and sauté until the sprouts are cooked through, but still crunchy, and the chestnuts are warmed through - about 3-4 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper then serve. Just remember the bacon is quite salty so taste before you add any more salt.
