Recipe Tips
I strongly recommend that you brown the sausages before adding them to the slow cooker. It helps reduce the amount of fat produced in slow cooking and will help the sausage maintain a more pleasing texture. That said, if you don’t get there in time, you can skip this step.
You can use one or two drops of Parisian essence to give your sauce a deep brown color. This ingredient is available in Australia, but maybe more difficult to get in other countries.
