  1. Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, clicking off any tatty outer leaves, then halve through the core. Peel and finely slice the shallots, and pick the sage leaves.
  2. Put the butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, add the sage for 1 minute, then go in with the shallots and toss together. Crumble in the chestnuts and add the cranberries, then cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
  3. Turn the heat down to low, add the balsamic vinegar, followed by the sprouts and a splash of water. Cook gently with a lid on for 30 minutes, or until beautifully tender and caramelised.
  4. Season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper, then tip into a serving dish and get stuck in.

Get ahead: Make this the day before you want to eat it, then simply cover with tin foil and reheat in the oven at 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4 for 20 minutes.
