To prepare, you can pan-fry the sausage over medium heat until it is browned and heated through. Alternatively, you can grill it or bake it in the oven. It is also delicious simmered in sauces or added to stews. Since it is already cooked, the cooking time is mainly to achieve your desired level of browning and internal temperature.
