  2. Even sprout haters and children seem to like this creamy puree.

    
    1kg Brussels sprouts
    50g soft unsalted butter
    450ml creme fraiehe
    1-2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped to sprinkle
    sea salt
    
    

    Trim the tough outer leaves from the sprouts and make an incision in the shape of a cross at the base. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to the boil, then add the sprouts and cook for 6-7 minutes or until just tender. Drain and refresh quickly under cold running water to preserve their colour.

    Tip the sprouts into a food processor with the butter, creme fraiche, a good pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then puree for a minute or so until smooth. Adjust the seasoning, if necessary.

    Gently reheat the puree over a low heat until piping hot. Serve sprinkled with

    the chopped parsley.
