- 4 tablespoon Grana Padano cheese, grated
Method
- Wash the Brussels sprouts, make a cut in the stalk, remove the outer leaves, wash again and drain well.

- Season to taste.
- Add the garlic, chillies and pine nuts, stirring from time to time. Serve, sprinkled with the cheese.
Variations
Guindilla peppers come from Navarra in Spain and I have never seen fresh ones in the UK, so you will have to use the jarred variety which are usually green in colour.
Grana Padano cheese is available from the main supermarkets and some specialist cheesemongers. If you are unable to get it, use Parmesan instead.
