Vegetarians can tuck into these festive beetroot puffs, and even the anti-sprout brigade might be won over by honeyed harissa brussels
It’s easy for vegetarians to feel short-changed at Christmas. I created this vibrantly coloured, subtly spiced, sweet and savoury pastry number with them in mind, but it seems popular with meat-eaters as well. I eat sprouts year-round, in one form or another, transforming them with spice and lemon zest without a lot of effort. Christmas should be all-inclusive and this year, although it may be a smaller affair, I want it to be extra-special, bringing much-needed joy to everyone around the table. If you have any vegans among you, I’ve suggested ways to make both recipes plant-based, too.
