Wild Boar Sausages with Herby Orzo
This recipe is inspired by Sammy Montgoms published August 2023.
I have made changes to this recipe to suit my family's preferences with various ingredients.
We love one pot cooking and this is an easy dish to prepare and serve with little fuss and minimal preparation.
You can use any kind of sausages for this dish!
