Italian Sausage & Brussels Sprouts with Pickled Red Onions

Ingredients

  • 1 small red onion peeled and cut into 1/8-inch slices
  • 1/4 c. red wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken Italian sausage hot or sweet, casings removed
  • 1 ½ pounds brussels sprouts trimmed and halved

Instructions

  • Mix onion with vinegar and salt, stir to thoroughly combine, set aside.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium–high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into smaller pieces as you go. Stir occasionally, until the sausage is browned and crispy (about 8-10 minutes).
  • Remove sausage from skillet to a paper towel lined plate, make sure to leave any fat in the skillet.
  • Add 2 Tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Once heated (1 minute), add the brussels sprouts cut-side down. Season with salt and pepper. Let the brussels cook without stirring for about 5 minutes until the brussels sprouts are well browned. Stir to brown the brussels sprouts all over (another 5-8 minutes).
  • Add the Italian sausage to the brussels sprouts and stir to combine.
  • Serve topped with pickled onions.
