I don't know if this is the right thread to post this on, but it was a main course for us last night. DH put this over pasta and made a brown butter type of sauce . We both thought it was good. It is something a little different for a change.

Brussels Sprouts and Pepperoni

"This may seem like an unusual combination, but the saltiness of the pepperoni and the cabbage flavor of the Brussels sprouts come together very well."

1/2 lb. pepperoni stick, thickly sliced on an angle
1 TB. olive oil
1 pint Brussels sprouts, washed and trimmed
1 TB. honey
1/2 small onion, thickly sliced, brushed with oil, grilled 3-4 min., and diced
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
Freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the grill.

Grill the pepperoni sliced until slightly charred. Heat the oil in a saute pan on the grill, toss in the Brussels sprouts and honey, and quickly stir-fry. Add the onion and oregano. Add the pepperoni to the pan and toss well. Sprinkle with black pepper and serve immediately. Makes 4 servings
