Charred Miso Sprouts

This is a paid partnership with Opies Foods.

Although much maligned by those who don't appreciate their bitter, earthy flavour, I love sprouts, and could eat them all year long – especially in salads or stir fries.

This recipe is delightful, and has been elevated by the use of pickled walnuts, which add a unique sweet-and-sour flavour punch! It's delicious served as a side-dish, or with rice or noodles to make a meal.

Opies Pickled Walnuts can be found in all major supermarkets in the pickle aisle, and cost around £3 a jar.
