Chorizo Sausage with Brussels Sprouts, Mushrooms, and Onions – Courtesy of Whole Life Eating

Many sausages include sugar to counter the effect of hot spices, but not chorizo, at least not most varieties. The hot, smoky flavor of chorizo sausage is strong and does well paired with Brussels sprouts to make a tasty and simple meal. I originally made this meal with just chorizo and Brussels sprouts, but now include onions and mushrooms.

Ingredients:
1 pound of chorizo sausage
1 pound of Brussels sprouts
8 ounces of mushrooms
1 medium sweet yellow onion
Extra virgin olive oil
Garlic powder
Black pepper
Salt

Directions:
Chop onion and mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Rinse Brussels sprouts. Cut away surplus stems, discard loose leaves, and cut heads into halves. Cut sausage into bite-sized pieces. Add two tablespoons of olive oil to a sauté pan or wok over medium heat. Add onion and let cook for a few minutes. Add sausage. Stir and break into smaller pieces with a spatula. Add Brussels sprouts and mushrooms. Cover and let cook for 10-15 minutes or until Brussels sprouts are tender, stirring once or twice. Transfer to a plate and eat!
