SEARED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
For delicious brussels sprouts, cook them in very hot oil. The cut side will sear, as will some of the leaves, resulting in a toasty, charred flavor that is irresistible, especially to children. Don't use an expensive olive oil for this dish. It should not have a strong flavor.

Steps:
- Trim the ends off the brussels sprouts, and cut in half lengthwise through the stem end.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. When the skillet is just short of smoking, place the brussels sprouts cut side down in the oil. Turn the heat to medium, and sear on one side until nicely browned, about three minutes. Turn the brussels sprouts over and cook on the other side until nicely browned and tender, three to five minutes. Some of the leaves can be charred dark brown or black. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and serve.

PAN-SEARED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Trim the stems off the Brussels sprouts and then halve them lengthwise. Keep any outer leaves that fall off.
- Over medium-high heat, heat the oil in a wide skillet or sauté pan and place the Brussels sprout halves face-down in the oil.
- Arrange any loose leaves over the tops, as if you're covering the sprouts with little blankets.
- Let the sprouts brown in the oil for about 5 minutes, after which time you can turn them with tongs. They should be a beautiful golden brown. If not, leave them face-down until they have a nice color, then flip them over.
- Add the stock to the pan, which will create quite a big sizzle. Sprinkle salt over the Brussels sprouts.
- Cover the pan and turn the heat to low. Simmer for about 5 more minutes, after which time the liquid should be mostly gone.
- Swirl a little butter in the pan, adjusting the seasoning with lemon juice, and adding more salt if you want.
- Serve right away and enjoy.

PAN-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
I never liked Brussels sprouts as a kid, but now I love them. You don't normally find this vegetable in the Spanish kitchen, so the flavorful combination of sprouts and chorizo is my take on a new Spanish-American side.

Steps:
- To prepare the Brussels sprouts, remove any tough leaves from the outside, trim the ends, and cut in half lengthwise. Cut lemon wedges for the fresh lemon juice. Heat a very large, heavy-bottomed (preferably cast-iron) sauté pan over medium high heat. Drizzle in the olive oil. Add the sprouts to the pan, cut side down, in a single, uncrowded layer (work in batches if they won't all fit at once). Continue to cook the sprouts until they begin to brown and caramelize.
- Add the chorizo to the sprouts. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Continue to cook the sprouts until they are slightly softened and bright green, but still have bite to them. Add ¼ cup of the chicken stock. Stir the sprouts and cook until the stock evaporates. Add another ¼ cup of stock, and keep cooking and adding stock until the sprouts soften more but are still al dente. Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice. Season with salt, to taste.
- Once the sprouts are cooked, remove from the heat and scoop them into a deep serving bowl. Garnish with the freshly chopped parsley (or herb of your choice) and serve.
Tips:
- Choose firm and vibrant Brussels sprouts: Look for Brussels sprouts that are compact, deep green in color, and free from blemishes. Avoid any sprouts that are yellowing or have brown spots.
- Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts: Trim the stem end of each Brussels sprout and cut them in half lengthwise. This will help them cook evenly.
- Season generously: Season the Brussels sprouts with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before cooking. This will help them develop a flavorful crust.
- Use high heat: Cook the Brussels sprouts over high heat in a large skillet or sauté pan. This will help them caramelize and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the Brussels sprouts in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Stir occasionally: Stir the Brussels sprouts occasionally while cooking to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Serve immediately: Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately after cooking. They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
