- Why did the sausage burst?
- Cooked too hot, too fast. Steam built up inside. Start lower or prick the skin.
- Onions burned before sausage cooked?
- Sausage takes longer. Start the sausage first, add onions once fat renders.
Roasted Hungarian Sausages
Roasted sausage is Hungarian 'fast food', but when done right, it's a feast. The secret isn't complexity, but technique: getting crisp skin without bursting, and a juicy interior. The onion-pepper bed isn't just a side; it infuses the sausage fat with sweetness.
