Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 100g raisins
  • 4 tbsp red wine or sherry vinegar
  • 1kg Brussels sprouts, trimmed
  • handful flaked almonds, toasted
  • pinch paprika (optional)

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and sizzle the shallots for 5 mins until starting to colour. Sprinkle over the sugar, stir well, then add the raisins and vinegar. Simmer for 5 mins to make a sticky mix, then set aside.

  2. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, then tip in the sprouts. Cook for 5 mins, then drain well, add to the shallot pan and toss everything together. Serve scattered with flaked almonds and a sprinkling of paprika, if you like.
