Picked the sprouts today

Lovely morning, was it my imagination or was it lighter earlier
Anyway all veggies picked and home ready for preparation. Also on my ride to the allotments I pass a sweet chestnut tree and last month I picked a few of the prickly little sods, We will boil them up and add to the sprouts and the after xmas stir fry. Merry Crimbo and while I am at it I found a last cracker in the box. The serviette started singing 'Chestnuts roasting on an open fire' turned out it was a Napkin Cole. Wassail

When we managed to pick some chestnuts last year, I sliced them across the top and put them in the microwave for a minute to cook them.
Prefer my sprouts au natural, ie no bacon or chestnuts.

There's a recipe on the BBC web site for roasted sprouts with garlic butter and parmesan. Came out more like shredded sprouts and was OK - the family liked it because (I suspect) the dish didn't taste so much of sprouts!
