Steps:
- Get a pan on a medium heat and add in the olive oil.
- Slice the Brussels sprouts in half and place them flat side down into the pan for 3 to 4 minutes. You're looking for them to go golden so don't be tempted to turn them! Season with sea salt and black pepper.

- Cut the butter into slices and add to the pan around the sprouts and spring onions.
- Slice up your red chile and scatter into the pan, adding the seeds if you're feeling brave!

- Serve on a plate and scatter over the browned sesame seeds.
