PAN-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
I never liked Brussels sprouts as a kid, but now I love them. You don't normally find this vegetable in the Spanish kitchen, so the flavorful combination of sprouts and chorizo is my take on a new Spanish-American side.

Steps:
- To prepare the Brussels sprouts, remove any tough leaves from the outside, trim the ends, and cut in half lengthwise. Cut lemon wedges for the fresh lemon juice. Heat a very large, heavy-bottomed (preferably cast-iron) sauté pan over medium high heat. Drizzle in the olive oil. Add the sprouts to the pan, cut side down, in a single, uncrowded layer (work in batches if they won't all fit at once). Continue to cook the sprouts until they begin to brown and caramelize.
- Add the chorizo to the sprouts. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Continue to cook the sprouts until they are slightly softened and bright green, but still have bite to them. Add ¼ cup of the chicken stock. Stir the sprouts and cook until the stock evaporates. Add another ¼ cup of stock, and keep cooking and adding stock until the sprouts soften more but are still al dente. Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice. Season with salt, to taste.
- Once the sprouts are cooked, remove from the heat and scoop them into a deep serving bowl. Garnish with the freshly chopped parsley (or herb of your choice) and serve.

PAN ROASTED ALMOND BRUSSELS SPROUTS
This was a side dish my mother taught me to make after she modified a recipe she'd found in a cookbook to suit our family's tastes. These get deliciously crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. So good I could eat them as the meal itself. NOTE: Try to choose sprouts that are all about the same size. Smaller sprouts work best.

Steps:
- Trim the cut ends of the brussel sprout, remove any outer leaves that fall off, and cut the sprouts in half lengthwise.
- Heat oil and in a large flat-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
- When the oil it hot, sprinkle salt and pepper in the oil and cover the bottom of the pan with the sprouts, cut side down. Don't worry if the sprouts touch, just get as many in as you can.
- Sprinkle the top of the sprouts with a little more salt and pepper and let them sizzle for approximately 5 minutes.
- Divide the butter and drop small amounts around the top of the pan. It will melt down over the sprouts.
- After another minute or two, check a sprout to see if it's browning nicely. If so, turn the sprouts over and allow the other sides to brown for another 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the almonds over the sprouts and stir the pan to incorporate the nuts. Watch carefully to prevent the almonds from scorching.
- Roast for another 3-5 minutes, until the sprouts and almonds are toasty and crisp. Serve as is or sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top for a little extra goodness!
PAN ROASTED BRUSSEL SPROUTS
Found this in a Cuisine at home "cooking for two" book I bought, made it and LOVE it. Made just enough for DH and I and only used one pan to cook twice, first partially cook sprouts in water then saute in butter. The end result is YUMMY if you like sprouts and really brings out the fresh flavor with a nice bright color. I did saute some onions with mine and liked that.
