Directions

  1. Trim ends off brussels sprouts, remove any damaged external leaves, and cut in half lengthwise. Set aside.
  2. Remove casing from sausage and cut into 1/4-in.-thick slices. Put olive oil and sausage in a medium pot over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sausage is well browned, about 7 minutes.
