I have a very tasty recipe for you today!! I recently had the pleasure of being invited to participate in a recipe challenge issued by McCormick Spices called Go4Gourmet. They gave me 4 surprise ingredients (Brussels Sprouts, Chorizo, Paprika and Chicken Stock) and I came up with my take on them.

Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Chorizo and Paprika

I was really influenced by Thanksgiving being right around the corner, and wanted to come up with a great side dish that you could serve up not only at Turkey dinner, but any night of the week.

Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Chorizo and Paprika

This dish was not only incredibly vibrant in flavor, color and texture but so fast and easy to make too! And that is always my objective when I am looking for a great standout side dish. I served this dish the other night with roasted salmon, but I truly would have been happy to just pull up a fork to the skillet I cooked them in.

And, admittedly I was shocked when Pia walked in from school and made a bee-line for the stove saying “what is that amaaaaahzing smell!?” (uh, chorizo, obviously!) She wound up eating an enormous portion, maybe even more than me. So, considering she is 6 that is saying something…
