Ingredients
Scale
- 500gm Brussel Sprouts halved if large or left whole if small
- 6 slices of hot salami ( or mild if you prefer)
- 6 slices of eye bacon
- ½ bunch chives
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped parsley
- 50gm toasted pinenuts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- fresh ground black pepper
