3 Drain them, then down the centre, slit them three-quarters of the way through. Insert a bacon lardons, then secure everything with a wooden pick.

4 In a large frying pan, pour a little oil and a generous knob of butter. When it's hot, roast your sprouts for 4 minutes on each side.

Bresaola is an Italian cured meat made from dried and smoked beef, you can replace it with Grisons meat.
