tasty brussels sprouts and sausage

Brussels Sprouts with Sausage and Cumin

Serves 4.  I don’t know if this dish from the Jan. 2015 issue of Food and Wine magazine is a hearty side dish or a main dish.  Either way, it is delicious.

            2 Tbs. olive oil

            14 halved Brussels sprouts

            salt and pepper

            2 sweet Italian sausage links, casings removed

            1 tsp. dried oregano

            1 tsp. cumin

            ¼ c. fresh orange juice

            1 tsp. honey

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet.  Add Brussels sprouts and season with salt and pepper.  Cover and cook over moderately high heat until golden, 4 minutes.  Add sausage, oregano, and cumin.  Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until sausage is cooked, 3 minutes.  Stir in orange juice and honey, toss to coat.
