Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Toss the halved sprouts with the oil on a baking tray. Season and roast for 15 mins until golden and crisp.
  2. Meanwhile, melt the goose fat on a baking tray in the oven for 1 min, then add the bread and toss to coat. Bake for 10-12 mins until golden and crunchy.
  3. Meanwhile, make the dressing by mixing the garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, grated Parmesan and Worcestershire sauce. Spoon in the mayo and yogurt and whisk together. Add the red cabbage, cooked meat, shredded sprouts and croutons to the dressing and toss until evenly coated. Arrange on a serving platter. Top with the roasted sprouts and Parmesan shavings to serve.
  • Tip: Use leftover cooked sprouts here, if you prefer – simply reheat in the oven until golden and crisp, then continue from step 2.
