From Rukmini Iyer's The Roasting Tin comes Wild Rice Winter Salad with Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Pancetta, Feta and Sunflower Seeds.
I’m hardly a sprout fan, but I wanted to give this a shot as it was a little different. Should have been 40 mins total cook time, took me an hour 10. Other alterations: Aldi had 200g packs of sprouts. I only got one of those as I didn’t write down the weight from the recipe. The pancetta should have been cubed, I only remember seeing sliced in Tesco (Aldi and ASDA didn’t have any). I used double the required feta to use it all up though.
End result was a success. Parents came around, I served it between three of us with some potato slices. There was a little left and I had it for lunch the next day. Certainly they were the best tasting sprouts I’ve had. I wouldn’t say sprouts are the worst veg, but they’re not popular generally (who remembers that Bottom Christmas Special?).
This recipe process, in contrast to what is possibly BBC Comedy’s finest hour, certainly mellows out the veg.
