# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It uses one pan and barely any prep, yet looks like you spent hours on it.
  • The grapes turn into a jammy, savory-sweet sauce that makes everything taste richer.
  • It works as a weeknight dinner or something special enough for guests.
02 -
  • Don't skip flipping the sausages halfway, or one side stays pale and the other burns.
  • If your grapes are very large, halve a few so they release their juices faster.
  • Let the pan rest for a minute before serving so the juices thicken slightly.
03 -
  • Use a large enough pan so everything has room to roast, not steam.
  • If you want deeper color on the sausages, sear them in a skillet first before adding to the pan.
  • Fresh rosemary makes a big difference here, so grab it if you can.
