# Tips/Tricks

I cut the sausages up before browning them – this way you get bite-sized pieces and the casing keeps them somewhat intact. Alternatively, you can remove from casings and make them into mini meatballs
you can use any tinned tomatoes but for this recipe, I used tinned cherry tomatoes. If using plum tomatoes you need to chop the tomatoes up before adding them in
Tuscan stew is freezer friendly so feel free to make double the portion and freeze some for a delicious quick dinner. Alternatively, it will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge
