Halve the sprouts and fry them cut-side-down in very hot butter so they're almost burnt on one side and almost raw on the other. I despised them until someone cooked them that way, and then they were delicious.

Ooh, yes, every week at this time of year as part of a roast dinner. Absolutely love them. Hated them with a passion as a child. not sure when the conversion happened!:D

Aye I used to hate them as well but thats because whenever they were done when I was a kid it was the whole cut a cross in the bottom and boil them to death version of sprouts. Now when I cook them, it's parboil for a minute or two, in one pan, and in the other, saut! some garlic, shallot, chilli and pancetta and then once the sprouts are done, add them to the saut! pan, throw in a tiny bit of wine and let them cook for a few minutes.

Absolutely love sprouts now.
