This vibrant brussels sprout leaves with chorizo and toasted almonds dish offers a contemporary twist on a classic winter side. By separating the sprouts into individual leaves, they cook quickly and pick up a beautiful char, avoiding the mushy texture often associated with heritage boiled varieties. The combination of smoky Spanish sausage and crunchy, skin-on almonds creates a sophisticated balance of flavours and textures that feels truly indulgent.
As a naturally dairy-free option, this recipe is a versatile addition to a Sunday roast or a festive spread. The hit of sherry vinegar cuts through the richness of the chorizo, making it a bright, savoury accompaniment to grilled meats or roasted poultry. It is an excellent way to encourage even the most sceptical diners to enjoy their seasonal greens.

Ingredients for Brussels Sprout Leaves with Chorizo and Toasted Almonds
70g skin-on almonds (not roasted)
170g Spanish chorizo, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
900g brussels sprouts, stems trimmed, halved, leaves separated
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
How to make Brussels Sprout Leaves with Chorizo and Toasted Almonds
Toast almonds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until fragrant and slightly darkened, 5–8 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
Cook chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until fat starts to render and chorizo is crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer chorizo to a small bowl and wipe skillet clean (don't skip this step or the reddish-brown chorizo drippings will make brussels sprouts look muddy).
Heat oil in same skillet over mediumhigh and cook garlic and thyme, stirring occasionally, until garlic is fragrant and golden, about 1 minute. Working in batches, add brussels sprout leaves, tossing and letting them wilt slightly before adding more; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until leaves are browned in spots and tender, 8–10 minutes.
Remove from heat and add vinegar, almonds, and chorizo; toss to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and more vinegar, if desired.
