Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.

Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, clicking off any tatty outer leaves.

4
Squeeze the chorizo out of its skin, crumbling it into a roasting tray with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Tip in the sprouts and toss in the sherry vinegar. Squash and flatten the sprouts with a potato masher so they suck up more flavour.
