Notes
- I use a regular brown onion, but you can use white, yellow, or red onion.
- Feel free to substitute with vegetable broth or turkey broth.
- You only need a pinch of ground nutmeg and ground cardamom. If you don't have one or both, don't worry; you can leave them out.
- You can usually find cylinders of sausage meat in the fresh meat section near sausage links or ground/minced meat. You can squeeze the meat from some breakfast sausage links if you struggle to find it.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the bread by hand.
