Savory Brussels Sprouts With Smoked Sausage Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Toss sausage, Brussels sprouts, and shallots with oil and thread onto 4-inch skewers. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Preheat broiler. Broil until caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together honey, mustard, vinegar, and pepper. Brush skewers with 1/3 of the honey mixture. Broil 1 minute. Serve skewers with remaining sauce.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook and stir sausage slices over medium heat about 5 minutes or until browned. Set aside to cool slightly.
• For vinaigrette, in a small bowl, combine cider vinegar, shallot, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in olive oil and beat until combined.
• In a large bowl, combine cooked sausage, Brussels sprouts, red onion, walnuts, and dried cranberries. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Gently toss.
• Serve immediately or cover and chill up to 4 hours.

Steps:

• Toss onion in vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet (at least 12-inches) over medium-high heat. Add sausage, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break it up into smaller pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sausage is cooked through, browned and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove sausage from skillet, leaving any fat behind. Set aside.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet along with brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper and shake skillet so that most of the sprouts land cut-side down, turning some over with a fork, if necessary. Cook, without stirring, until brussels sprouts are well browned on one side, 5 to 8 minutes. Shake skillet to continue to brown sprouts all over, another 5 to 8 minutes. Add sausage back into skillet and stir to combine.
• Remove from heat and add onions and any vinegar left over, tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper, add parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Trim the base of the sprouts and peel off the bruised outer leaves.
• Cut in half if the sprouts are large.
• Cook the sprouts in lightly salted boiling water for around 5-8 minutes.

Transfer to a large bowl with the brussels sprouts, potatoes and 2 tablespoons olive oil, and stir until coated. (If the mixture seems dry, add a little more oil.) Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread the mixture in an even layer on the heated baking sheet, and arrange the vegetables cut-sides down. Roast 15 minutes, until the brussels sprouts and potatoes start to soften. (The sausages will not be cooked through yet.)
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the honey, mustard and mustard seeds, if using.
• Drizzle the honey mustard over the sausages and vegetables, and toss or shake to coat. Flip the sausages. Sprinkle with almonds, if using. Roast until the sausages are cooked through and the vegetables are golden and tender, another 10 minutes or so. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
