• 2 thick slices sourdough bread

How To Make Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Charred Brussels

1. Char the Brussels Sprouts: Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and char the sprouts for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden outside and tender inside. Set aside.
2. Make the Yoghurt Sauce: Grate most of the Parmesan and mix with the Greek yoghurt and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon onto a serving platter.
3. Toast the Croutons: Return the pan to medium-high. Cut the sourdough into 1cm cubes and fry in olive oil until golden, about 4 minutes. In the last moments, grate the rest of the Parmesan over the croutons and toss.
4. Assemble the Dish: Top the yoghurt mixture with the charred Brussels and croutons. Shave over extra Parmesan, drizzle with olive oil, and toss just before serving.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Can I roast the sprouts instead of charring them in a pan? Yes! Roast at 200°C (400°F) for about 20–25 minutes until golden.
• What can I use instead of sourdough? Any crusty bread works—baguette or ciabatta are great.
• Is there a vegan alternative? Try plant-based yoghurt and a dairy-free Parmesan substitute.
• Can I prep this ahead? Yes, but store components separately and assemble fresh for best texture.
