Made this pretty much as per recipe. I boiled the sausages till firm and then cut them into inch chunks. Added them back to the pan and cooked until cooked through. They were very lean and I did need olive oil to cook the onions and garlic. This was served other cooked quinoa with a salad and corn muffins for a nutrition packed meal. Everyone thought the dish was wonderful. Made for Aussie Swap.
