Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 12 ounces Smoked sausage
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the Brussels sprouts, cut side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes without stirring until the cut sides are golden brown.
Stir the Brussels sprouts and add the minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it. Let the Brussels sprouts simmer for 3-4 minutes until the broth reduces slightly.
Return the browned sausage to the skillet and toss to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Finish with a drizzle of lemon juice for brightness. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and serve warm as a main dish or side. Enjoy!
