Ingredients

1oz butter
2 garlic cloves crushed & finely chopped
1 mild red chilli, seeded & finely chopped
½ tspn ground ginger
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1lb Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced

To cook

Heat 3tblsp of the oil in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat a fry the breadcrumbs until they are golden brown. When they are done, set them aside on a plate.

Add the rest of the oil and butter to the pan; add the garlic, chilli, shallots and ginger and fry for 4-5 mins.

Raise the heat of the pan and tip in the sprouts, fry for 3-4 mins until slightly wilted but still lively in colour and texture (crunchy).

Add the breadcrumbs to the sprouts & serve as soon as possible.
