Brussels and Blue<br />

500g Brussels sprouts –<br />

trimmed<br />

2 x red onions – sliced into<br />

wedges<br />

4-5 thyme sprigs – leaves<br />

removed<br />

1 tbsp olive oil<br />

100g blue cheese (we used<br />

stilton)<br />

2 tbsp breadcrumbs<br />

Method<br />

Heat oven 200°C. Place oil,<br />

onion wedges and thyme in a<br />

medium baking tray. Toss to<br />

cover in oil and roast for 15<br />

mins. Meanwhile boil sprouts<br />

for 4 mins and drain. Run<br />

under cold water to prevent<br />

over cooking. When slightly<br />

cool – halve bigger sprouts.<br />

After 15 mins add sprouts to<br />

the tin and roast for another<br />

15 mins. Finally crumble over<br />

the cheese and breadcrumbs<br />

and roast for another 10-15<br />

mins. Keep an eye on the tray.<br />

You want golden crumbs and<br />

melted cheese. Serves 4 as a<br />

side or 2 as a main.<br />

** Delicious with sausages and<br />

a dollop of mustard**<br />

Brussels and Ham<br />

Gratin<br />

1kg Brussels sprouts –<br />

trimmed and halved<br />

200g cooked ham – shredded<br />

50g butter<br />

2 heaped tbsp plain fl our<br />

1 pt milk<br />

2 tbsp sour cream<br />

2 tsp English mustard<br />

200g Cheddar – grated<br />

100g breadcrumbs<br />

Method<br />

Boil the sprouts in a large pan<br />

of salted water for 3 mins and<br />

drain. Run under cold water to<br />

prevent them cooking further. Heat<br />

oven to 200°C. Now make the<br />

cheese sauce. Melt the butter in a<br />

saucepan, add the fl our and mix<br />

well. Cook for 2 mins. Take off the<br />

heat and gradually add the milk<br />

until you have a smooth mix. Put<br />

back on the heat and continue<br />

to stir until the sauce thickens.<br />

Add two thirds of the cheese,<br />

the mustard, the sour cream and<br />

season well. Put the sprouts and<br />

ham in an ovenproof dish, pour<br />

over the sauce. Mix the rest of the<br />

cheese with the breadcrumbs and<br />

sprinkle over the top. Bake for 25<br />

mins or until the top is golden.<br />

Serves 6<br />

**delicious with mash**
