Shaved Brussel Sprouts with Currants and Chestnuts

This elegant vegetarian side dish offers a sophisticated twist on a classic winter vegetable. By finely shaving the Brussels sprouts, you create a delicate texture that beautifully absorbs the flavours of the sweet apple cider and tangy balsamic vinegar. The addition of plump, cider-soaked currants and earthy chestnuts provides a wonderful contrast of textures and a rich, festive depth that complements any main course.

Ideal for a traditional Sunday roast or a special holiday menu, this dish is both nutritious and comforting. The vibrant green sprouts look stunning on the plate, while the balance of sweet and savoury notes ensures it will be a favourite for everyone at the table. For the best results, serve immediately while the chestnuts are warm and buttery.
