Shredded Brussels With Chorizo Sausage

I’m always looking for new ways to get my kids to eat green veggies. None of them appreciate roasted Brussels sprouts the same way I do, but I’ve recently found that they go over much better when thinly sliced and sautéed.  Add some sausage and you’ve got a side dish not many can turn down.

 
I think this dish would taste wonderful with Petit Jean Meats smoked sausage, but we are living in Scotland and can’t get it at the moment. I used Spanish chorizo sausage.
 
There are just a couple of tricks to making this dish perfectly.  The first one is to slice the Brussels as thinly as possible. You can do this in the food processor with a slicing attachment. Secondly, after you add the Brussels at the end, watch them carefully to keep from overcooking them.  Ideally, you want a little crunch left in them when you pull them off the stove and serve them.
 
If you’re in charge of bringing a side vegetable this year to Thanksgiving, you can’t go wrong with these! Plus I would think you would be in no danger of bringing the same dish as someone else!
 
Enjoy!
