Vaudois Hot Pot

1 Vaud-style sausage

1 cabbage sausage (Saucisson aux choux)

water

for simmering

1 tbsp butter

1 shallot

finely chopped

800 g leek

halved and sliced

500 g waxy potatoes

peeled, diced

1 tbsp white flour

300 ml vegetable stock

200 ml dry white wine

(e.g. Chasselas)

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp crème fraîche

a little salt

a little pepper

3 sprigs of parsley

leaves coarsely chopped

Prick each sausage once or twice with a toothpick. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil over high heat (level P). Reduce to medium heat (level 5) and add the sausages, gently simmering just below boiling point for approximately 40 minutes.

Melt butter in a pan over medium heat (level 5–6). Add the shallot and sauté. Add leek and potatoes, sauté for approximately 5 minutes. Dust with flour, pour in the white wine and allow it to reduce slightly. Pour in the vegetable stock, cover and simmer over low to medium heat (level 4-5) for approximately 25 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the apple cider vinegar and crème fraîche, and season with salt and pepper.

Arrange the leek and potato mixture on plates. Remove the sausages from the water, drain well and slice. Place on top of the vegetables and sprinkle with parsley.
