Method:

Cook the Brussels sprouts in boiling, salted water for five minutes or until nearly tender, then add the peas, bring to the boil again and simmer for a further two minutes. Drain and place into a warm serving dish. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small heavy-based frying pan. When the butter is foaming add the chopped nuts and fry for one minute until slightly golden. Add the orange juice and the sugar and boil for a further minute. Add the grated orange zest. Season with a little black pepper and pour over the sauce making sure that they are well covered.
