(inspired by Jamie Oliver)

Ingredients Needed

• 500g (1 lb) Brussels sprouts
• 50g (1.75 oz) Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
• 250g (9 oz) Greek yoghurt
• 1/2 lemon, juice only
• 2 slices thick sourdough bread

How To Make Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Brussels Sprouts

• Prep the Brussels Sprouts: Trim and halve the sprouts. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and cook the sprouts for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred on the outside and tender inside. Remove and set aside.
• Make the Parmesan Yoghurt: While the sprouts cook, finely grate most of the Parmesan. Mix it with the Greek yoghurt and lemon juice. Season with sea salt and pepper. Spread the mixture onto a serving plate.
• Toast the Croutons: Return the pan to medium-high heat. Cube the sourdough into 1cm (1/2 inch) pieces. Add olive oil and toast the cubes for 4 minutes, tossing regularly. In the last moments, grate over the remaining Parmesan.
• Assemble the Dish: Top the yoghurt with the charred sprouts and croutons. Finish with extra Parmesan shavings and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss lightly before serving.

It’s the perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, and smoky. I served this at a dinner party and people couldn’t stop raving about it. The yoghurt-Parmesan base is such a clever twist that makes the dish feel indulgent without being heavy.

Recipe Tips

• Char Well: Let the sprouts get properly browned for that smoky flavor.
• Use Fresh Parmesan: It makes a big difference in taste.
• Don’t Skip Lemon: It brightens the yoghurt mixture.
• Crisp the Croutons: Golden brown is the goal!
• Assemble Last Minute: Keeps everything fresh and crunchy.
