The addition of honey and sweet onion further enhances the depth of flavors, ensuring every bite is a delightful experience.
What sets this dish apart is the traditional method of smoking the sausages in soaked cornhusks. This technique not only infuses the meat with a smoky aroma but also keeps it tender and juicy.
