Ingredients

  • 200g (optional) smoked bacon lardons
  • 150ml medium cider
  • 25g butter, diced
  • 2 tbsp runny honey
  • 100g walnut pieces
  • 1kg sprouts, trimmed and large ones halved

Method

  • STEP 1

    Put the lardons in a cold frying pan over a low-medium heat and cook until golden and crisp, and lots of fat has collected in the pan. Spoon them onto kitchen paper to soak up excess fat.

  • STEP 2

    Put the cider, butter, honey and walnuts in a pan and melt gently together, then bubble until reduced by about half so it becomes syrupy. Everything can be chilled overnight at this stage if you’re getting ahead.

  • STEP 3

    To serve, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, add the sprouts and boil for 2-3 minutes, until just tender. Drain well, then tip back into a pan with the cider syrup and pancetta. Warm together, stirring so the sticky glaze coats all of the sprouts. Season to taste.
