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.
Cheese
Cheese is a good source of protein and calcium and pairs naturally with smoke, but it's also high in saturated fat and sodium — a little delivers big flavour, so treat it as a rich accent.
Garlic
Garlic adds big flavour for almost no calories and contains sulphur compounds (like allicin) long studied for heart and immune benefits. It's one of the healthiest ways to season a cook.
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.
Squash & pumpkin
Winter squash and pumpkin are high in fibre and beta-carotene (vitamin A), with a natural sweetness that pairs well with smoke and spice — filling without being heavy.
Tomato
Tomatoes bring bright acidity plus vitamin C and lycopene, an antioxidant that becomes more available when cooked. They lighten and balance rich, fatty barbecue.
