About

This is a recipe from my French Grandmother. I've made it with beef and pork sausage and also with vegetarian TVP.
This dish is a tradition at the Christmas Eve 'Reveillon' but is a wonderful main course on any chilly winter night.
I team mine with a red onion coulis and a smear of whole grain mustard, and a bold dry red wine.
