First Movie Night in the new house! Still trying to figure out how this stove from 1952 works and still have most of my kitchen packed up in boxes, but it doesn't get any easier and delicious than this recipe (below).


Ah Humphrey Bogart. What can I say? I just dont get it. Am I supposed to swoon for you? I can't understand a bleeping word you are saying. Playing a drunk is definitely your forte and that just makes you even more unappetizing. The best part of this movie was the ongoing side commentary by prospectors Ben and Barb. I do wish that I could whistle through my teeth while I talk like they can. The gist of the movie (if you must know and still feel like watching it after reading this) is that Humphrey hitches up with another dude and an old Prospecting dude to go mining for gold. Which they find and then some! Its the keepin' it that's the thing...

Mexican Chorizo & Caramelized Brussel Sprouts

INGREDIENTS:

6 ounces chorizo

1 pound brussel sprouts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 package yellow rice (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Remove chorizo from the casings and fry in a medium sauté pan until fully cooked. Meanwhile, clean and trim the brussel sprouts and cut them into quarters.

When the chorizo is cooked, remove from pan and set aside.

Making sure your pan is hot, drop in the sprouts and stir to coat in the chorizo drippings. 

Cook for about 8–10 minutes, tossing occasionally to make sure they don't burn, but not too much as you want them to become nicely caramelized. 

Add the chorizo back in along with the olive oil for another 2 minutes until the flavors have blended. Add salt and pepper as needed.
