Roasted Sprout Tops with Pine Nuts and Raisins

Directions

Preheat your oven to 210C (190C fan). Wash your sprout top and slice it in half, or quarters if it's very large. Place in a baking tray, drizzle on some olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until softened and just starting to colour round the edges.

While it's roasting, prepare the raisins and pine nuts.

Boil a little water in the kettle. Put the raisins in a small bowl, and pour over the hot water. Let sit for a few minutes. This will plump up the raisins so that they have a soft, juicy texture.

heat a frying pan and add in the pine nuts. Toast for about 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye and stirring frequently as they can burn very quickly. When they're golden all over, take off the heat.

Drain the raisins.

When the sprout tops are cooked, place in a bowl, and dress with olive oil, lemon juice, the pine nuts and the raisins. Serve warm.
