Ingredients

500g Brussels sprouts

20g coarse sea salt

Top Tip

To sterilise your jar, simply boil it with the lid and any utensils you’re going to use to fill the jar for 15 minutes, making sure not to use any unsterile items until after you’ve sealed the jar.

Method

  1. Very thinly shred the sprouts (use a mandolin if you’re feeling brave!), then toss with 10g of sea salt. Massage and squeeze with clean hands for 2 to 3 minutes, then set aside for around 1 hour to soften slightly.
  2. Dissolve 10g of salt in 500ml of water to make a salt brine.
  3. Pack the sprouts into a sterilised 500ml jar, then pour over enough brine to cover them – they should be fully submerged.
  4. Seal the jar and leave to pickle at room temperature for 2 to 3 weeks, or until crunchy and sour, transferring to the fridge after opening. Delicious with hotdogs and Reuben sandwiches, or in my Sprout kraut pancake (see below)!

Transform your sprout kraut into a funky festive take on Korean pajeon. Topped with a few store-cupboard items, it’s a perfect quick fix!

Here’s how to make it:

Trim and thinly slice 2 spring onions, then peel and thinly slice 10g of fresh ginger and 1 clove of garlic. Tip into a bowl, reserving the spring onion greens for later, along with 250g of sprout kraut and 2 tablespoons of the brine. Add 70g of plain flour and 50ml of water, and mix to form a thick, American pancake-like batter.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large frying pan on a medium heat. Add the batter and fry for 4 to 5 minutes, or until golden, flipping halfway. Transfer to a plate, scatter over the spring onion whites, rip over 1 sheet of toasted nori and add some hot sauce, if you like. Slice it up and dig in!
