1 Tablespoon water

1 Tablespoon runny honey

Trim any ragged leaves off the sprouts & cut in half through the root.

Heat a large sauté pan & cook the bacon over a medium heat until golden brown.

Remove with a slotted spoon & set aside.

Add the sprouts, cut side down, to the pan & season with salt & pepper.

Add the water & immediately cover & cook over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the sprouts are just tender but still have a little bite.

Uncover & increase the heat.

Add the honey, cinnamon, garlic, orange zest & chilli flakes & toss the sprouts to coat in the honey glaze.
