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
