Method

  • step 1

    Mix the butter, orange zest and hazelnuts in a small bowl with some freshly ground black pepper. (This can be done 2-3 days ahead and kept covered in the fridge.)

  • step 2

    Put the brussels sprouts into a pan of boiling salted water, bring back to the boil, cover and cook for 4-5 mins. Pour in the peas and cook for a further 2 mins. The sprouts should be only just cooked. Drain.

  • step 3

    Put the sprouts and peas back into the pan and toss with the flavoured butter so it melts in. Season with salt and pepper and tip into a warmed serving dish.

RECIPE TIPS
TOASTING HAZELNUTS

If you can't find a packed of ready-toasted hazelnuts, there are two ways of toasting hazelnuts yourself. The first is to spread them out on a thick baking sheet and toast under the grill. The second, less fiddly way is to heat a heavy-based frying pan, add the nuts and dry-fry until they are browned. Both methods require persistent jiggling to stop the nuts from burning.

It is a novel flavour. However the toasted hazelnut orange zest butter overwhelms the sprouts. Bacon & toasted almond works better to complement the flavour rather than make it disappear. A mouthful of the orange & hazelnut is all one gets from this, its like having desert or drinking…

Wonderful recipe, made it for Christmas Day and everyone loved it, including the self-proclaimed sprout haters! Will definitely be using this recipe again in the future!

delicious! This recipe completely broke my stereotype of the overcooked, yellowish Brussels served as school dinner. Still al dente, and full with flavour. Not a hint of bitterness! Another favourite of ours.

Like the sound of this though I haven't tried it yet but if & when I do I'd quarter the sprouts.

Whole sprouts came out beautifully.
