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
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.
Step 2
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Return the browned sausage to the skillet and toss to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Step 9
Finish with a drizzle of lemon juice for brightness. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 10
Remove from heat and serve warm as a main dish or side. Enjoy!
