Ingredients

For the dressing

1 clove/s garlic clove
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Essential White Free Range Egg
3 anchovy fillets (from a 50g can in extra virgin olive oil)
75ml olive or cold-pressed rapeseed oil
50g Parmigiano Reggiano or pecorino, coarsely grated

For the salad

20 Brussels sprouts, bases trimmed
1 tsp sea salt flakes
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil from the anchovy can
50g rough breadcrumbs, made from stale bread
1 unwaxed lemon, finely grated zest
15g Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated

Method

To make the dressing, tip all the ingredients into a high-speed blender, then blend on high for 30 seconds. You could also use a stick blender or small processor.
Slice the sprouts as thinly as possible. Doing this in a food processor with a slicing blade speeds things up considerably. Place the sprouts into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with the sea salt. Using clean hands, massage the salt into the sprouts for 30 seconds, then set the bowl aside.
Pour the anchovy oil into a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and fry until golden brown. Add the lemon zest and tip onto a plate to cool and crisp up.
Add ½ the dressing to the sprouts and mix well to combine. Tip onto a serving platter and sprinkle ½ the toasted anchovy breadcrumbs over the top, with the cheese. Serve the salad with the extra dressing and crispy breadcrumbs on the side. Any leftover dressing will keep covered and in the fridge for up to 2 days.
