  • 750g brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 70g good quality butter (or vegan equivalent)
  • 250g thin or thick cut marmalade
  • 1 orange, juice and zest, divided
  • 2 tbsp rosemary leaves, finely chopped, divided
  • 2 tbsp thyme leaves, finely chopped, divided
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 200g pre-packed cooked chestnuts, halved
  • 2 tbsp whisky (or orange juice)
  • Sea salt and black pepper, as desired
  • Step 1

    Place prepared brussels sprouts into large saucepan and cover with an inch of freshly boiled water. Place a lid on top and steam for 1 minute, or until bright green.

  • Step 2

    Place the wok over a medium-high heat and add the butter, heating until foaming. Add the sprouts and fry for 5 minutes until a little golden but still firm and tender.

  • Step 3

    Whilst the sprouts are cooking add to a saucepan the marmalade, orange juice, half the chopped herbs, lemon juice and vinegar and place over a low-medium heat. Bring to a low boil until reduced (about 5 minutes) then remove from heat. The mixture should be thick and tacky.

  • Step 4

    Once the sprouts are ready stir in the chestnuts and cook for a further minute. Pour over the marmalade glaze and briefly cook until warmed through and evenly coated.

  • Step 5

    Stir in the whisky (or orange juice), orange zest, and remaining herbs until combined. Season with salt and pepper if desired and serve immediately.
