Pan Fried Sprouts with Walnuts, Honey and Stilton

You’re either going to love it or hate it, but if you like Brussels sprouts AND blue cheese, you are going to LOVE my Pan Fried Sprouts with Walnuts, Honey and Stilton. This is one of those recipes I just can’t stop eating!

No, I’ve not gone mad – this dish really does work! Probably not one that’s going to convert the die-hard sprout haters. But if you like Brussels sprouts AND blue cheese, you are going to LOVE my Pan Fried Sprouts with Walnuts, Honey and Stilton. 

The Brussels sprouts are pan-fried with walnuts, then drizzled with honey and sprinkled with blue cheese: a great way to use up leftover stilton and walnuts from Christmas day. The nutty flavours of the pan fried sprouts and walnuts just pairs so beautifully with the oozing, melted blue cheese. And the honey is just the icing on the cake.

If you don’t like blue cheese, try feta or white stilton instead or just leave out the cheese altogether. 

My Pan Fried Sprouts with Walnuts, Honey and Stilton goes brilliantly with leftover roast turkey or ham. Alternatively you could serve this as an unusual starter on Christmas Day!
