Method

Combine the butter, chilli and chopped parsley, then spoon onto clingfilm in a line. Roll up into a sausage shape, twisting the ends to seal. Chill for at least 1 hr.
Blanch the cabbage in a large pan of boiling water for 3 mins, then drain.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a dry nonstick frying pan for 5 mins or until crispy. Add the sprouts to the pan and stir-fry for 3 mins to soften. Add the drained cabbage and cook for a further 2 mins.
Transfer to a serving plate and slice over the cold flavoured butter (it will melt in the heat of the vegetables). Garnish with the remaining parsley, then gently stir before serving.
