Prep to the end of step 2. Cool, cover and chill. Reheat with a splash of water and continue from step 3.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan or large saucepan. Add the shallots and a pinch of salt and cook for 5 minutes over a medium heat until starting to soften.
- Increase the heat, add the shredded sprouts, chestnuts and a pinch of salt; stir-fry for 5 minutes until bright green. Add 200ml of water and cook until the liquid has evaporated and the sprouts are tender but still have a bit of bite.
- Pour in the cream and add a little nutmeg or mace; bubble and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and add a squeeze of lemon juice and seasoning to taste.
