Sauted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Almonds

Trim the end of the sprouts, remove any tatty leaves and slice ½ cm thick. Blanch in boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Drain well.

Heat the butter in a sauté pan and cook the bacon, spring onions, garlic and almonds until lightly golden. Add the Brussels sprouts, season well and cook over a high heat for 3-4 minutes, tossing to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
