Traditionally in our house we always steamed sprouts, but I really like the flavour you get from pan frying them.  You could also add a few rashers of smoked streaky bacon for even more flavour.

The Method

Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan over a medium hight heat until the butter melts and begins to foam.

Add in the garlic and fry for 30 second before adding in the brussel sprouts and stir frying for 6-8 minutes until tender.

Add in the Parmesan, season with sea salt and ground black pepper and stir through until the cheese has melted.

Serve straight away.
