Ingredients:
- 4 slices of sourdough bread, torn into bite-sized pieces
- Olive oil
- 2 lemons
- Parmesan cheese, finely grated (plus extra for serving)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 500 g Brussels sprouts (yellow or blemished outer leaves removed)
- Salt and Pepper for seasoning
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 200°C.
-
Prepare the croutons: Spread the torn sourdough pieces onto a baking tray in an even layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Bake, tossing halfway through, until the bread is browned and crisp, about 12 minutes.
-
Make the dressing: While the croutons are baking, zest and juice 1 lemon into a blender. Add 1/2 cup of finely grated Parmesan, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and a generous dash of black pepper. Blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. With the motor running, slowly pour in 1/4 cup of olive oil. Continue blending until the dressing is creamy and emulsified, about 30 seconds more.
-
Shred the Brussels sprouts: Using a sharp knife, finely shred the Brussels sprouts from the top to the base and place them in a large bowl.
-
Combine and serve: Add the freshly made dressing and the croutons to the shredded Brussels sprouts. Toss until everything is well-coated. Finish with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
