Brussel Sprouts.

You either love them or hate them, I love them, but have to say that as a child I did not like them, but was always made to eat at least one on Christmas Day. These days my tastes have changed and I love Brussel Sprouts. If like me you like Sprouts but are never sure what to do with them, then why not give this recipe a go.

Sausages with Winter Veg.

4 sausages , regular or reduced-fat

2 parsnips

2 or 3 medium potatoes

175g Brussels sprouts

4 tbsp milk

1 tbsp wholegrain mustard.

Garlic if you like it.

Grill the sausages for 10-12 mins, turning frequently. Meanwhile, peel and roughly chop the parsnips and potatoes, then cook in boiling salted water for about 10 mins. Shred sprouts, add to the pan for the last 2-3 mins and cook until all the vegetables are tender.

Drain and mash the vegetables, then beat in the milk and mustard with salt and pepper. Serve with the sausages.
