Questions about Toulouse sausage
How do you cook Toulouse sausage without drying it out?
Cook it whole in a frying pan over medium-low heat for about 15–20 minutes, turning often; don’t prick the casing, or the juices will escape. It is ready when the centre reaches 75 °C.
Can you cook Toulouse sausage in the oven?
Yes. Put the sausages in a roasting tin and bake at 200 °C for about 20–25 minutes, turning once, until browned and cooked through; check that the centre reaches 75 °C.
What is Toulouse sausage made of, and how do you choose it?
It is a fresh pork sausage, traditionally made with coarsely minced meat, salt and pepper in a casing. Choose plump sausages with an even filling and an intact casing, and keep them chilled until cooking.
What dishes use Toulouse sausage?
It is best known as an ingredient in cassoulet, the slow-cooked bean dish. Brown it first, then let it simmer with the beans so its savoury juices flavour the dish.
How should you store Toulouse sausage?
Keep raw Toulouse sausage covered in the fridge and cook it within a day or two of buying it. To keep it longer, freeze it; thaw it in the fridge and cook it promptly.
Can you use Toulouse sausage instead of merguez?
You can, but the flavour will change: Toulouse sausage is a mild, peppery pork sausage, while merguez is usually a spiced, chilli-hot sausage. Use Toulouse sausage when you want a gentler result, or add chilli and spices to bring the heat closer.
