Brussels sprouts with apple, onion and chorizo

[Posted by Joan]
Last week I made a lovely brussels sprouts concoction.
1. I washed and trimmed and cut in half a bag (pound?) of sprouts.
I arranged them in my cast iron gratin pan that had a light coating of olive oil.
2. I cored and coarsely chopped two very small apples, chopped 1/2 yellow onion, and tossed them in the pan.
3. I added two small chunks of Spanish chorizo, finely diced.
4. Mixed it all together, drizzled with a little more olive oil, salt and a generous coat of maple syrup.
5. Roasted at 400 degrees until well done and browned.
It smelled heavenly. I could have eaten it all myself, but I shared with husband Michael.

This looks completely fantastic!

The one thing I would change is the olive oil in steps involving high heat. It tends to oxidize at pan-heat temperatures, so I'd go with coconut oil which is quite stable and doesn't alter the flavor as much. Maybe just throw a drizzle on right at the end after you bake it.

I may have to try this tonight. Of course I'll have to finally pick up a cast iron skillet...

Grapeseed oil is another good oil for high heat cooking. Thanks for your suggestion Neil.
