Method

1 Melt butter with sugar in a frying pan. Stir in shallots. Cook gently over a low heat, stirring occasionally, for 15-20min until the shallots are soft and golden. Set aside.
2 Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Tip in the sprouts and boil for 4-5min until just tender. Drain well and return to the pan. Add the caramelised shallots and the pinenuts and stir over the heat for 2-3min until heated through.

GET AHEAD
Prepare the recipe to the end of step 1 the day before. Cool, cover and chill. To use, complete recipe.

COOK'S TIP
Don't be tempted to cut a cross in the bottom of the Brussels sprouts as this will make them soggy.
