With sprouts still being in season in Ireland I wanted to create something a little special with them. I love the flavour of a well roasted, blackened sprout. A few drops of balsamic as they finish off in the oven really lifts them up. These tacos pack a lot of flavour in, and with a few simple tweaks (the sour cream, honey and cheese) they can be totally vegan.

This recipe was inspired by the Catalan tradition of eating wonderfully dark and grilled calçots with a creamy fresh romesco sauce. The leeks respond really well to an intense heat like this and work beautifully with the richness of the sauce. I serve it as a side dish and it always goes down well.
