This recipe originally featured in The 4 Blades Magazine: The Christmas Issue. It formed one of the side dishes of our Hot Christmas Dinner which included a whole chicken cooked in the Thermomix, three side dishes and a dessert. Of course, just like a lot of the recipes featured in that issue, it’s perfect for other times of the year also. The magazine includes a full timeline (starting from days before the event for maximum time management!) in order to not only get the meal out, but enjoy it too!
Even those of you that don’t love brussel sprouts – give this a go! The saltiness of the bacon and the crunch of the almonds is a great mix!
