Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts. Shred them finely using a sharp knife or a food processor.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced or crumbled chorizo to the skillet. Cook until it starts to brown and release its oils, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the chorizo fat.
- Sauté the onion until it becomes translucent and begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
- Add the shredded Brussels sprouts to the skillet with the onions.
- Stir well to combine and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the Brussels sprouts begin to soften.
- Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of paprika over the Brussels sprouts mixture.
- Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth.
- Stir well and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
- Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Add the roughly chopped pistachio nuts to the skillet.
- Zest the lemon directly over the dish for added freshness.
- Squeeze the lemon juice over the mixture to taste, and stir everything well to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the shredded Brussels sprouts with chorizo and paprika hot, as a main dish or alongside a protein of your choice.
Tips:
- Ensure you shred the Brussels sprouts finely for even cooking.
- Use smoked paprika for an added depth of flavor.
- Toast the pistachio nuts lightly before adding them to the dish to enhance their crunchiness and flavor.
- Use chicken broth sparingly to prevent the dish from becoming too soggy; add just enough to deglaze the pan.
- Consider using a combination of sweet and spicy chorizo for a balance of flavors.
- You can use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a vegetarian version.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice just before serving for a bright, fresh finish.
With these tips and guidelines, you can easily prepare this Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Chorizo and Paprika recipe to perfection. It's a dish that not only tantalizes your taste buds with its rich and complex flavors but also adds a wholesome, nutritious element to your diet.
