The other day M. came home and surprised me with a bag full of chestnuts, it made me think of a tasty meal I had once while at a friends place of roasted chestnuts with brussle sprouts!
I have made my variation of it, as I couldn't remember how they did it, and decided to add some tasty bacon... who doesn't like a little bit of bacon (well unless you vegetarian/ vegan of Seventh Day Adventist =P )

How to roast chestnuts:
Serves :12Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
6 slices of middle bacon, trimmed and coarsely chopped
4 cup Brussels sprouts, halved lengthwise
1 tsp salt
2 cup fresh chestnuts, roasted and peeled
2 tbsp vegetable spread, at room temp.
Method...
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat. Cook bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- Add Brussels sprouts to same skillet and cook, tossing frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add salt and 1 cup water; cover and simmer until sprouts are almost tender, about 8 minutes.
- Add chestnuts and cook, uncovered, until sprouts are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and swirl in veggie spread until creamy. Toss reserved bacon over top.
Serve with a nice cut of cooked meat and steamed dutch carrots.
