Ingredients

6 total
  • 200g brussels sprouts
  • 1 tsp olive oil, for greasing
  • 1 pack (184g) dry-cured smoked streaky bacon
  • 2 tbsp Las Chicas Pibil Cooking Paste
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 2 limes, cut into wedges for squeezing

Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 4. Blanch the sprouts in a pan of boiling, salted water for 3 mins; drain and instantly plunge into a bowl of ice water (to keep them green). Drain, then cut each in half.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, grease a baking tray with the oil. Lay the bacon on it; set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In a large roasting tin, toss the sprout halves in the pibil; roast for 10 mins. Add the bacon to roast alongside for 8 mins or until crispy (keep an eye on it). Remove both and leave to cool a little, then cut the bacon into bite-size pieces.

  4. Step 4

    Take approx. 8 cocktail sticks and thread the sprouts and bacon alternately onto them until everything is used up. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
