Brussels Sprouts with Chorizo

From: Food and Wine Magazine

Ingredients

1 lb. Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved, lengthwise

2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

6 oz. cured Spanish chorizo, quartered lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/4" slices

1/2 small yellow onion, roughly chopped

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Heat a 6-qt. pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until just tender, 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer Brussels sprouts to a bowl of ice water; let sit for 5 minutes. Drain Brussels sprouts and pat dry with paper towels; set aside.

Heat 1 tbsp. of the oil in a 12″ cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and soft, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until soft, about 2 more minutes. Transfer chorizo mixture to a bowl. Increase heat to high and add the remaining oil and reserved Brussels sprouts; cook flipping once or twice, until the Brussels sprouts are browned and tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in the reserved chorizo mixture and season with salt and pepper.
