Tip for Perfect Brussels Sprouts
To get the best results with Brussels sprouts, try parboiling them first. This simple technique ensures they’re tender without turning mushy or bitter. It also helps to keep their vibrant green colour, making them even more appetising on your plate. Plus, it reduces the time spent frying, ensuring the outside crisps up nicely while the inside stays tender.
