Our best cooking tips for your Andouillettes

The andouillette being an already cooked charcuterie, you just have to reheat it before tasting it.

To prevent it from bursting, it is necessary to prick it lightly with the tip of a knife before cooking.

You then have the choice of grilling it, frying it or reheating it in the oven for a few minutes with or without garnish.

If you like a "plain" andouillette with a crispy and lightly grilled envelope, don't hesitate to use your grill.

- Prick the andouillette in several places and cook it on the lightly oiled hot grill for 5 minutes, turning it on its own.

- Finish cooking in the oven at 180° for 12 minutes so that the sausage is hot and tender without being too grilled.

- This very simple cooking brings out the taste of the andouillette.

- A potato-based accompaniment goes perfectly with sausage: mashed potatoes, sautéed potatoes and of course fries, but it is also delicious with sunny vegetables.

If you like an andouillette with a crispy envelope but more golden than grilled, replace the grill with a frying pan by adding a little butter and oil.

- Proceed exactly as for the grilled sausage.

- Mashed potatoes go very well with this preparation.

If you want to taste an andouillette in sauce.

- Prepare an onion fondue (1 onion per andouillette) in a little butter that you spread in the bottom of a gratin dish the size of the andouillette.

- Place the pricked andouillette on top, pour a little white wine (5 cl/andouillette) and slide the dish into the oven at 180° for 30 minutes.

- Add a little water during cooking if the onions stick to the bottom of the dish.

- Remove the dish from the oven, place the sausage on a plate and pour the onion fondue with its juice into a saucepan.

- Then add cream (10 cl/andouillette) and a little mustard (1 tsp/andouillette) to the pan and continue to heat while whisking.

- Coat the andouillette with this cream and accompany it with fresh pasta.

- This cooking makes it possible to have a very soft andouillette which communicates its taste to the sauce.

This very simple preparation is tasty.
