Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz pastured chorizo diced
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 shallots thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 to 1 1/2 lb brussels sprouts trimmed and split

Method
 

  1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
