-Fry the bacon slowly until it starts to caramelize and release its fat
-Add the Brussels sprouts and fry again until they begin to take on some colour too
-Add the chestnuts and fry until they start to begin to roast and become a little crisp around the edges
-Add the butter in the gaps that you have in the pan and turn the heat up slightly and let the butter start to go a dark brown colour, almost to the point of being burnt
-Quickly add the parsley and fry for 10 seconds or so before turning the heat off
-Season with salt and pepper and finally add the vinegar to deglaze the pan and serve immediately
