Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon
Peel, trim, rinse and dry 500 ml Brussels sprouts. Cut in half lengthways.

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.

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.

Meanwhile, grate 15 ml Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano) and set aside.

Tiramisu
Tiramisu
Classic italian recipe (the name means "pull me up" or more poetically, "take me up to the sky"). It's similar to a charlotte in its structure: layers of flavoured biscuits between layers of smooth cream.
