Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

Any good quality sausage works with this recipe, I've used herb/garlic/Italian and even salami and chorizo. Friends have reported failures when they used cheaper sausages bought from supermarkets. So, visit a good butcher and buy sausages made of good ingredients and you are set!
