Recipe Notes

Sausage makes a great addition to stews. Just a little can add so much flavor, and even though most sausage contains a lot of salt, it won’t add much to the finished dish. Choosing a strongly flavored sausage like chorizo or andouille can create a whole new flavor for a recipe.

"A highbrow is the kind of person who looks at a sausage and thinks of Picasso."
