Sausage is a weeknight lifesaver: it comes ready-seasoned and cooked, so meals are quick and affordable. The most popular sausage recipes are sausage stew, sausage macaroni bake, creamy sausage pasta and a sausage and potato traybake.
Always fry the sausage pieces first in a hot pan until properly browned, without adding extra fat. The browning brings flavour to the whole dish, and the fat released from the sausage is often enough to soften the onion and vegetables. Only then add the stock, chopped tomatoes or cooking cream.
As a rule of thumb, a sausage stew takes 400 g of sausage for four servings and about 300 g of dry pasta or macaroni. Because sausage is already salty, season at the end and go easy on the stock – reach for smoked paprika, mustard or fresh thyme rather than salt. An oven bake takes about 25–30 minutes at 200 °C, and a traybake about 30 minutes at the same temperature, as long as the potato wedges are the same size.
To make the dish lighter, use half the sausage and replace the rest with pulses or root vegetables – the flavour stays. For a vegetarian or vegan version, swap the sausage for a plant-based sausage and fry it the same way. In the Ruokaboksi weekly menu you will find sausage dishes pre-portioned, so nothing goes to waste.
