Creamed Brussels sprouts with nutmeg

What You’ll need:

450g fresh sprouts, outer leaves and ends of stalks removed
30g butter
100ml double cream
1tsp grated nutmeg
Small bunch fresh parsley roughly chopped
Black pepper

What to do:

1. In a pan of boiling water simmer the sprouts for 8-10 mins until just done. Drain, then tip into a food processor.

2. Add the butter, cream, nutmeg and three quarters of the parsley and season to taste. Whizz until semi-smooth so it still has some texture.

3. Check the seasoning then spoon into a warm serving dish and scatter with the remaining parsley and a good grind of black pepper.

You can also add some diced crisp bacon to this recipe if you like. Also, any leftover Brussels can be used in Bubble and Squeak the next day.
