Ingredients
- Carrot: 3 carrots, thickly sliced, at an angle
- Butter: 75g butter
- Leek: 2 leeks, trimmed and thickly sliced, at an angle
- Sage Leaves: handful sage leaves (optional)
- Brussels Sprouts: 300g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved, if they're large
Directions
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, tip in the carrots and boil for 3 mins, then add the sprouts and boil for another minute before adding the leeks. Boil everything for 5 mins more, then drain well.
- Sizzle the butter in a largefrying panor saute pan until it turns a nutty brown, then add the sage, if using. Let it crackle, then transfer to a plate, leaving the butter in the pan. Add some cracked black pepper to the butter, tip in the vegetables and gently stir-fry until the veg is piping hot and starting to brown around the edges. Season with sea salt and serve straightaway, with the sage scattered over, if using.
