Ingredients

250g smoked streaky bacon, chopped
60g butter
2 garlic cloves, crushed
120g fresh breadcrumbs
1kg Brussels sprouts, peeled
200g chestnuts, roughly chopped

Instructions

In a saucepan, fry the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on kitchen towel. Melt the butter and add the garlic. Cook on a gentle heat for about 2 minutes, then add the breadcrumbs. Stir and cook for a further 5 minutes as the breadcrumbs soak up the butter and go slightly golden. Remove from the heat.
Steam the sprouts for 6 to 7 minutes until tender. Place in a large ovenproof dish and mix in the chestnuts and bacon. Sprinkle over the garlic breadcrumbs. Bake in the oven (between 180 C, 160 C fan, gas 4 and 200 C, 180 C fan, gas 6 is fine) for about 10 to 12 minutes until the crumbs are golden.
