Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Shallots

(Serves 4)

Ingredients

• 250g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 100g rindless bacon, finely chopped
• 2 large NZ shallots, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• freshly ground salt and black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup water

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Toss together the Brussels sprouts, bacon, shallots, oil, salt and pepper in a baking pan.
