We love brussels sprouts, and these were among the best we've had! Loved the addition of the chestnuts and the raisins (didn't have currants). My sprouts were really small, so we didn't bother to slice them - just halved them. We'll definitely be having these again!

Excellent! I had a netting bag of sprouts that weighed 1 pound so cut the recipe back slightly, and still used the full jar of chestnuts. Easy to make and delicious!

I made a double recipe and served it in two bowls at my Christmas dinner, by the end of the dinner both bowls were empty, this was a really great recipe for brussel sprouts and one I will use many more times. I thank you very much Ellie
