How to make festive brussels sprouts

• Using a small knife, score a cross in the base of each chestnut.
• Bring a saucepan of water to the boil over medium-high heat.
• Drop in the chestnuts and boil for 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove pan from the heat.
• Using a slotted spoon, rernove a few chestnuts from the pan, leaving the others immersed in the water until ready to peel.
• Before the chestnuts cool, remove the outer shell with a knife and then peel off the inner skin.
• Rinse the pan, return the peeled chestnuts to it and add the milk.
• Top up with enough water to completely cover the chestnuts.
• Simmer over medium heat for 13 to 15 minutes until the chestnuts are just tender. Drain and set aside.
• Remove any wilted or yellow leaves from the Brussels sprouts.
• Trim the root ends but leave intact or the leaves will separate.
• Using a small knife, score a cross in the base of each sprout so they cook evenly.
• In a large, heavy frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Stir in the chopped shallot and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until just softened.
• Add the Brussels sprouts and wine or water.
• Cook, covered, over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the pan and stirring occasionally, adding a little more water if necessary.
• Add the poached chestnuts 6and toss gently to combine.
• Cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more, until the chestnuts and Brussels sprouts are tender.
