Cook your sprouts in vegetable stock for extra flavour, and dress them in tart mustard and sweet honey.
Honey mustard Brussels Sprouts features such a classic dressing combination - the sweetness matched with the sharp kick of wholegrain mustard. It’s well-known to make anything green taste more impressive - and sprouts are no exception. This recipe proves sprouts are for life, not just for Christmas. It’s great with a steak dinner or midweek pork chops (pork always works well with a bit of extra sweetness) just like our classic Brussels sprouts recipe.

- 500g (18oz) Brussels sprouts
- 1tbsp olive oil
