  1. Get a pot of water on and bring it to the boil put in about half teaspoon of salt.
  2. Now the sprouts - just trim of the bottoms and wash in cold water, next when the water in your pot has come to the boil put your sprouts in and cook for 3-4 mins.
  3. Remember not to cover any green veg.
  4. Take the sprouts out of the pot and cool them down in cold water (this will stop them from cooking).
