Nutritional Values

This recipe swaps slab bacon for chestnut mushrooms seasoned with smoked paprika and soy sauce. Chestnut mushrooms replace bacon's saturated fat and cholesterol with fibre, B vitamins and naturally occurring glutamates that deliver the same savoury depth. Olive oil replaces butter, bringing heart-friendly monounsaturated fats in place of saturated dairy fat. Brussels sprouts are rich in vitamin C and vitamin K, whilst the lemon juice adds a further boost of vitamin C. The result is a hash that is high in fibre and low in saturated fat.

Brussels Sprout Mushroom Hash

Crispy, caramelised Brussels sprouts meet smoky, umami-rich chestnut mushrooms in a golden hash that's as satisfying on a weeknight as it is on a weekend brunch table. A squeeze of lemon at the end lifts every savoury note and keeps the colours vivid. Serve it alongside a glass of dry Riesling for a pairing that sings.

Ingredients
[ ] 500 g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved through the root
[ ] 300 g chestnut mushrooms, thickly sliced
[ ] 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
[ ] 1 tablespoon soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
[ ] 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
[ ] 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
[ ] Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
[ ] 1. Toss the sliced chestnut mushrooms in a bowl with the smoked paprika, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until evenly coated. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the sprouts.
[ ] 2. Heat a large, heavy-based frying pan (cast iron works best) over a medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
[ ] 3. Arrange the halved Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer. Leave them undisturbed for 4–5 minutes until the cut faces are deep golden brown.
[ ] 4. Turn each sprout over and cook for a further 3–4 minutes until tender with a little bite. Transfer to a plate and season lightly with salt.
[ ] 5. Return the pan to a medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the marinated chestnut mushrooms in a single layer and cook without stirring for 3–4 minutes until browned on one side.
[ ] 6. Toss the mushrooms and cook for a further 2–3 minutes until golden all over and any moisture has evaporated.
[ ] 7. Return the Brussels sprouts to the pan with the mushrooms. Toss everything together over the heat for 1–2 minutes so the flavours meld and the hash heats through evenly.
[ ] 8. Remove from the heat, drizzle over the 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and toss once more. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.

Brussels sprouts and chestnut mushrooms make this an outstandingly nutrient-dense cruciferous-and-fungi duo, rich in fibre, vitamin C, and B-vitamins. Three tablespoons of olive oil across the dish — roughly ¾ tablespoon per serving — gives it a noticeably oily finish, and the soy sauce adds a real but moderate sodium load.
