Tour de France 2022 Stage 20; Lacapelle-Marival to Rocamadour:

Saucisse de Toulouse

Makes 8 sausages

2kg boneless shoulder of pork (cut into cubes)

12 slices of smoked streaky bacon

1 onion, finely diced

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 Tbsp Herbes de Provence

4 tsp rock salt (@Blackthornsalt)

2 tsp pepper

175ml red wine (Cahors)

1 box of cherry tomatoes

2 cloves of garlic

Handful of basil leaves

6 large potatoes (peeled and cubed)

Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl, and place in the fridge overnight.

Either you have the wherewithal to make your own sausages or you don’t. If you don’t befriend your local butcher, and go along and get them to put the mixture through the mincer and into casing for your sausages.

When they are at home preheat the oven to 190C

Prepare a roasting tray with the cherry tomatoes, and rip the basil on top, and then lay the sausages on top.

Cook for 50 minutes, turning every 10 minutes or so.

Boil the potatoes for 30 mins, and mash adding butter and milk for a smooth mash.

Serve.

Enjoy with a glass or two of Côtes de Bergerac.
