Alice's 'Seventies dinner party sprouts', from In Praise of Veg

Ingredients:

500 g (1 lb 2 oz) brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

1 tablespoon peanut oil roasted peanuts, roughly chopped, to garnish (optional)

chopped red chilli, to garnish (optional)

Rob’s rump marinade

2 tablespoons honey (preferably runny)

2 tablespoons light soy sauce

2 tablespoons peanut oil

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon caraway seeds

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

2–3 garlic cloves, crushed

Method:

Preheat the oven to 220 C (425 F), with a heavy baking tray or roasting tin inside.

Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, stir all the marinade ingredients together until combined. Arrange the brussels sprouts, cut side down, in the marinade to help it soak in.

When the oven has heated up, give the brussels sprouts one last stir through the marinade. Wearing an oven mitt, take the hot tray from the oven, line it with baking paper, then pop the brussels sprouts onto the hot tray, from outside in, using a pair of tongs in your other hand to turn them cut side down again; reserve the remaining marinade in the bowl.

Roast the sprouts for 10 minutes, or until the top leaves are basically burnt.

Pour the peanut oil into your left-over marinade to loosen it off, then drizzle over the roasted sprouts.

Toss them into a bowl and smugly serve, scattered with peanuts and chopped red chilli if you like. These sprouts are sure to turn even the most bullish Brassica denier into a believer.

Tips:

Preheating the tray helps give more of a golden crust on the sprouts.

Feel free to skip lining the tray before using if you like to live dangerously – it'll give you more colour on the sprouts, but will take some cleaning.

Soaking the stains in vinegar and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) followed by a good scrub should do it.

I like to use an appropriately sized storage vessel for marinading purposes, so that I can pop the leftovers in there and save on washing up!

If you decide to give the marinade a whirl with lamb, try using lamb eye fillet rather than rump, and pull back on the honey; 1 tablespoon should suffice.

Dietaries: Sub in maple syrup instead of honey to turn this one fully plant-based.
