Let’s get into the holiday spirit with Dan Cooper’s BBQ sprout side dish! Brussels sprouts, chorizo, and pickled onions come together for a delightful flavor party!
This dish is the perfect addition to your enjoyable BBQ celebration!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons of thyme
- 225 grams of chorizo sausage
- 225g of those delightful pickled sweet mini silver skin onions are available.
- 1 kilogram of blanched sprouts
- Salt and pepper
The Method
- Remove the chorizo skin and chop it into small pieces.
- Drain those onions and give them a thorough chop in half!
- Give those sprouts a thorough wash and a quick blanch, making sure they stay fresh and firm!
- Get the barbecue ready for some direct heat, around 200°C. When you’re firing up a charcoal barbecue, just grab a whole chimney starter filled with those lit briquettes!
- For about 5 minutes, heat your Gourmet BBQ System Wok or a cast iron skillet over direct heat until nice and toasty.
- First, drizzle in the olive oil, then toss in the chorizo. Give the chorizo a thorough stir, letting all those delicious juices flow out of the meaty bits. Keep in mind cooking for another 2 minutes!
- Toss in those silver-skinned onions, along with some thyme, and give it a good mix with the chorizo! Give it another minute of stir-frying!
- And now, let’s toss in those pre-cooked sprouts! Make sure to toss in a nice variety so all those flavors can mingle together beautifully. Just pop the lid on and let those sprouts cook for about 4 minutes.
