Saucisse de morteau au lentils recipe

My poor non French people,

You are able to’t understand how hard it's for any Parisienne to reside in California like I actually do.

Imagine, living somewhere where everyone is smiling constantly! Where individuals really say hello and &"have a very good day&" store or in the restaurant! I had been so shocked initially when i first gone to live in LA which i thought everyone was really making fun of me and were laughing within my back. Why couldn’t they simply groan and appear depressed just like any good and sensible Franais would.

But there’s worse here.

Sun sun sun! Always sun! Quelle horreur.

Just how can a good individual do without rain? There are plenty of incredible meals you are able to’t have when the weather conditions are good&...

That’s why I clapped my hands and beamed with joie once the sky all of a sudden switched grey a week ago.
An execllent opportunity watch L'ensemble des Parapluies de Cherbourg.

And&... to prepare Saucisse de Morteau.

1 saucisse de Morteau
8 oz bacon
1 sliced oinion
1 onion which you nail 4 cloves
3 carotts
1 cup lentilles du Puy
2 cups water
Laurel, Thyme, pepper and salt

Saucisse de Morteau is really a smoked pork sausage that is produced in Franche Comt. within the East of France.

Really, a genuine Saucisse de Morteau needs to be produced in Morteau or perhaps in its area. There’s a protection around the name, because there are Appelation d’Origine Controle for Bourgogne or Beaujolais.

You don’t wreck havoc on the Morteau: it needs to be smoked having a special wood in special traditional houses. And individuals originating from Franche Comt venerate it as being a nationwide treasure.

Take my pal Deborah for instance: if you invite her, she includes her saucisse. It’s odd, however it’s good!

It’s very difficult to look for a real Morteau Sausage in america (unless of course Deborah involves visit you against France, obviously), however i’m so happy I’ve found an excellent one made here.

The other magical component of this recipe, is a touch bit simpler to locate.

Plusieurs lentilles, oui, mais plusieurs lentilles du Puy ! These eco-friendly lentils originate from l’Auvergne. in South Center France. These French and excellent vegetables are preferred among chefs and nutritionists aussi due to their great taste and healthy gifts. It’s filled with protein, fibers, and minerals.
Et c’est bon !

  • Ask them to sweat for some time inside a big pot, with a few essential olive oil and/or butter.



  • When they're soft and melting such as the heart of the teenage girl, add some diced carrots.
  • Make certain they've time for you to meet and chat just a little, after which introduce all of them for their new buddies, the lentils.
