Brussels with hustle
Who wants to spend ages prepping sprouts when there's so much else going on? Not me! This kind of thing is exactly the reason I fell in love with my food processor. I've come up with this super quick recipe where you just rattle the sprouts straight through the processor and into a pan with some gorgeous flavours to pimp them right up. Done.
