We love Brussels sprouts and this recipe serves them up with a twist.
Brussels sprouts with lemon, pecan & sage recipe
Cook’s tip: A day before, trim the sprouts and make the flavoured butter. Keep separately in the fridge. Toast the nuts and keep covered at room temperature. Cook and assemble on the day.
Adjust the cooking time to the doneness you like in your sprouts.

- Cook the Brussels sprouts in boiling water for 8-10 minutes or until just tender. Drain and return to the pan.
- Meanwhile, dry-fry the pecans for 1-2 minutes until golden. Set aside.
