Brussel
Sprouts are, of course, good for you … but a challenge to make
interesting. I've tried quite a few
approaches and am sharing another one with you now.
It was pretty successful – although relying on chorizo
and chilli to add flavour seems to be a bit sneaky!
Ingredients:
Brussel Sprouts
¼ a chorizo
Chilli oil
Sesame oil
Salt and pepper
Method:
Halve each sprout, cutting through the cut end.
Boil the sprouts for 3 minutes – they'll be part
cooked. Drain them and let them dry a
bit.
Chop up the chorizo and fry it off in the chilli oil –
if you are using sesame oil just use a tiny splash – it is strong stuff.
Add the sprouts to the pan and fry them cut side down
until they've got a bit of colour – but the tops of the sprouts remain
vibrantly green.
You seem to have done enough to hide the real true brussels sprout flavor! Though there are those who like it.

I'm always looking for ways to make them more interesting - Bob loves his Brussels sprouts.
ReplyDeleteLooks very tasty! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI adore Brussels sprouts --- they say fall to me. This sounds so good, and I know my husband would love the addition of chorizo.
ReplyDeleteAnother good way to try them. My husband hates them. Recently I read about shredding them to add to a casserole or stir fry. I will try your way.
ReplyDeleteI actually happen to really like Brussel Sprouts.... with Chorizo though it must be really yummy.
ReplyDeleteWe went out to dinner for Mother's Day and the waitress tried to sell us on brussel sprouts but there were no takers.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it would matter what I added to the brussel sprouts, no one would eat them.
ReplyDeleteNice idea to season with chorizo, sesame oil and chili oil. I love Brussels sprouts, and usually roast them or fry them with bacon bits.
