Recipe help ideas??

[jebbypal]

Okay, so I love trader joe's flavored chicken sausages to pieces. I do. Sadly, the rest of the world has discovered them and almost every time I make it to a store nowadays, the best varieties are gone.

which goes to explain why I have to packs of roasted garlic sausage in my freezer.

I don't detest them. I will eat them, but I don't enjoy the eating. They are too garlicy and tend to retain more water than the rest when microwaved making for a not fun consistency for eating (I'm picky on the consistency of food in my mouth).

Soooo, anyone have ideas for what I can do with this? Pastas in the past haven't been too great. I'm tempted to try roasting some with potatoes carrots and onions to see if I can leach some of the wetness and flavor out. Anything else? (with the reminder that it's not like I can easily use most boxed/canned foods).

I was going to suggest that polenta or couscous would also leech some of the water, but I imagine you can't eat either of those things. Maybe rice, as that also takes in water?

Have you tried putting the sausage in pasta and then baking it in the oven? Or maybe in a frittata? Baking it might also get some of the water out of it, maybe...
