Ingredients
400 g
Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed
70 mL
boiling water
1/2
vegetable stock cube
2 tsp.
Marmite
20 g
Panko breadcrumbs
70 g
Cheddar
3
sprigs of thyme, stripped and finely chopped
Directions
STEP 1
In a saucepan of salted boiling water, simmer sprouts for 3mins into their al dente. Drain and allow to steam dry.
STEP 2
Meanwhile, put breadcrumbs, cheddar and thyme together in a bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
STEP 3
Heat up a heavy-bottomed frying pan. Put sprouts into the hot pan and flatten them with a potato masher, this allows them to crisp up more. Dry fry for 5 minutes, until they become slightly charred. Remove from heat.
STEP 4
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, Marmite, boiling water and ½ stock cube. Mix until combined and melted.
STEP 5
Pre-heat grill. Pour Marmite mixture over the sprouts and give them a good toss. Sprinkle over your cheddar/breadcrumb mixture and grill on high for 2-3 minutes. Serve.
