Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 20 min.

Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon

Peel, trim, rinse and dry 4 lb + 6.4 oz Brussels sprouts. Cut in half lengthways.

Stage 2 - 1 min.

Put into a bowl.

Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Finely shred the sage leaves.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Add to the bowl. Grate the zest of 2 lemons over.

Add 16 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Lay a sheet of cooking parchment on a baking sheet, then arrange the sprouts cut side upwards as far as possible.

Don't wash the bowl, as we'll use it again in stage 8.

Stage 6 - 20 min.

Put in the oven for about 20 minutes until the sprouts are nicely browned.

Turn the baking sheet round halfway through cooking if necessary so that they colour evenly.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Meanwhile, grate 2.1 oz Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano) and set aside.

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Also while the sprouts are roasting, squeeze the lemon juice and put in the bowl saved from earlier. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper, then mix well.

Stage 9 - 5 min.

Take the sprouts out of the oven (but leave it on) and brush with the lemon mixture.

Stage 10 - 1 min.

Scatter the grated Parmesan over.

Stage 11 - 3 min.

Put back in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes, just to melt the Parmesan.

Stage 12

Serve immediately.

Remarks

If you don't have Parmesan, you can use pecorino or another cheese you like.

Keeping

Should be eaten immediately.

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
