4 cups of shaved brussel sprouts
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 link of chorizo, diced into small pieces
Directions:

2. Add the chopped garlic, butter, and chopped shallot. Cook for about 2 minutes
3. Add the brussel sprouts and seasonings.
4. Cook, over high heat, stirring often for about 20 minutes.
5. Your brussel sprouts will cook down but they will also get a little color because you cooked them on high heat.

Wine - the best part of this meal:
Pigment
Malbec
2012
Cahors, France
Georges Vigorous
This wine is produced in limestone soil in a very dry climate. Because of the elements it produces a low yield which makes this really special. It was amazing. I haven't had a french Malbec since Noir 46.

Enjoy
