More information, cause recipe back stories are stupid

No 500-word life story — just the good-to-know stuff on what’s actually in this cook. Here’s the rundown on every real ingredient, health and nutrition wise.

Sausage
Sausages are a tasty protein but tend to be higher in sodium and saturated fat than whole cuts, and cured ones add nitrites. Making them from scratch lets you control the salt and fat ratio; either way, enjoy in moderation.
Onion
Onions are low-calorie aromatics rich in fibre, vitamin C, and antioxidants such as quercetin. They add depth and gentle sweetness without much fat or salt.
Beer
Beer adds malt flavour and helps tenderize and steam in barbecue, and most of the alcohol cooks off with heat. As a drink, it's best enjoyed in moderation.
