More recipes coming soon!
pan-fried BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH salpicão sausage
Ingredients
-
550 grams raw Brussels Sprouts (peeled & halved)
-
100 grams salpicão Portuguese sausage* (cut into small cubes)
-
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
-
4 tablespoons (or 60ml) red wine
-
50 grams Green Beans (for extra texture)
*If you can’t find this Portuguese sausage, you can use smoked bacon lardons or pancetta instead
Method
-
Heat up a frying pan with the olive oil until hot. Add then add the diced sausage* and fry for 5 minutes or until crispy.
-
Then add the halved sprouts and green beans. Stir for a few minutes, so to sear them with some colour. Then add the wine to deglaze the pan.
-
Stir and cover the pan for 5 minutes, till the wine has evaporated and the sprouts and beans are tender.
-
Finally season with pepper to taste. Be careful not to over salt. You may find the dish salty enough, as the sausage/bacon has provided that already.
​
Enjoy this as a tasty side dish to accompany fish, grilled steak or chicken breast.
Even enjoyable as a main dish served with freshly boiled rice.
