Brussels Sprouts with White Beans and Pecorino

This vibrant vegetarian dish offers a sophisticated way to enjoy Brussels sprouts, pairing their earthy sweetness with creamy cannellini beans and the salty tang of pecorino cheese. By searing the sprouts in two batches, you achieve a beautiful caramelised colour and a nutty depth of flavour that contrasts perfectly with the tender white beans. It is a wonderful alternative to traditional boiled greens and works equally well as a substantial side or a light main course.

Packed with plant-based protein and fibre, this recipe is a healthy choice for a midweek meal or a Sunday roast accompaniment. The addition of a garlic-infused stock reduction creates a rich, savoury glaze that ties the ingredients together. For the best results, use a young, semi-firm pecorino that melts slightly into the warm vegetables to create a truly comforting finish.
