Instructions
Cook the sausage in a pan on the stove on medium heat until the meat browns and there is no pink. Drain liquid from pan, and put sausage into a medium-large bowl.
In the same pan, add the brussel sprouts and onion, and cook on medium. Use the oil from the sausage or add ½ TB of coconut oil. Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic at 7 minutes, and cook all together for about 3 minutes.
Remove the brussel sprouts, onion and garlic and place into the bowl with the sausage. Mix all with a spoon. Then assemble lettuce cups by placing about a ½ cup meat onto each romaine lettuce leaf, topping it with a pinch of parsley, and sprinkling with goat cheese.
Next broil the lettuce cups in the oven for 2 minutes, to make it extra crispy and heat the goat cheese, or serve as is.
Notes
Best served hot! If you want to make the recipe in advance, assemble the lettuce cups promptly before eating.
