The words healthy and sausage don’t seem to fit together in the same sentence!

Hello David
Yes, many may also struggle with the fact that 'healthy and sausage' appear in this recipe suggestion, but Hala El-Shafie whose name is behind the original recipe is a Registered Dietitian and does state 'use lean sausages'.
With the variety of vegetables within the recipe it certainly is a tasty one :)

Many thanks for your sharing your thoughts and comment.

All the best Jan
