Lemon and sage Brussels sprouts recipe
Give your Brussels sprouts a make-over this Christmas with this delicious vegetarian recipe.
Waitrose tip: if you want to get ahead the day before, you can trim the sprouts and make the flavoured butter, then keep them separately in the fridge. Once toasted, the nuts can be kept covered at room temperature.
