Good ingredients to pair with sausages
Potatoes, peppers and onions make a classic traybake, while beans and tomatoes create a satisfying stew. Pasta and rice are useful when you want the sausage flavour spread through more of the meal.

How to get the best from sausages
Brown sausages gently so the outside does not split before the centre is cooked. If slicing them into a sauce or traybake, keep the pieces substantial enough to stay juicy and let the surrounding ingredients take on the rendered flavour.
Turn a few ingredients into a coherent dinner
Choose a base, a flavour direction and one or two supporting ingredients. For example, rice or potatoes can make the meal filling, while lemon and garlic, tomato and herbs, soy and chilli, or curry spices can give the ingredients a clear direction.
Make the idea fit your evening
The same ingredient can produce a very different answer depending on whether you need dinner in 20 minutes, want one pan, are feeding four people or need to use another ingredient before it goes to waste. Add those constraints before choosing the final recipe.
Use SIZZIO to make it specific
