Sautéd Brussels Sprouts With Chestnuts & Sucuk
Report
Sauteed Brussels sprouts with chestnuts is a dish often served with pork such as bacon or pancetta. Our recipe has been given a more Turkish flavour by using sucuk (similar to salami or chorizo). This dish can be eaten as a main meal or as a side to other meals.

Ingredients
- ½ kilogram Brussels sprouts (washed & loose leaves removed)
- ½ kilogram chestnut shells scored with a cross
- 250 grams sucuk (skin removed & sucuk chopped into small cubes )
- 2 Chili pepper finely chopped, fresh
- 1 dessert spoon olive oil
- salt for seasoning
- black pepper for seasoning
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, plunge your Brussels sprouts into boiling water and blanch them for 4-5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, drain and leave to one side.
- Meanwhile, dry fry your chestnuts for 15 minutes or dry roast them in a hot oven (200C) for around 20 minutes.
- Allow your chestnuts to cool and then peel them (the shell will have loosened where you scored them).
- Cut your larger chestnuts and sprouts in half.
- Gently heat your olive oil in a frying pan and add the chilli peppers.
- Sauté for a couple of minutes before adding your Brussels sprouts.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper and give them a stir to coat them with the oil and chilli.
- Now leave them to sauté for 4-5 minutes. Don't stir them because you want your sprouts to start browning here and there.
- Next, add your chestnuts and stir them around so that they get a good coating of oil and chilli, too.
- Sauté for a further 5 minutes. Again, don't worry about constant stirring. A bit of browning adds to the dish.
- Now check your sautéd Brussels sprouts have softened to your liking. Green and firm is better than mustard yellow mush.
- Add your chopped sucuk to the pan and stir around for roughly 5 minutes. Your sucuk will release its super tasty oils and spices and coat your sauteed Brussels sprouts and chestnuts.
- Serve hot either as a main meal or as an accompaniment to other dishes.
