Cooks tips
- You can blitz the sprouts in a blender, but the hand sliced method looks better
- Add another tbsp of oil if required
- The sprouts can be prepared a day before you need to cook, just put them in a freezer bag and keep in the fridge
- Dry fry the bacon/pancetta in a non stick pan, there’s enough fat in the meat to cook
