Ingredients
- Saucisse de Morteau – 1 portion
- Yellow onion – 1 medium
- Garlic – 4 cloves
- Cooking broth or stock – 250 ml
- Olive oil – 3 tbsp
- Salt and pepper – to taste
Steps
- Pat the protein dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Heat a heavy skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat with oil. Sear the protein on all sides to build color, 2–3 minutes per side.
- Lower the heat and add the aromatics (onion, garlic, herbs) for Saucisse de Morteau. Cook until softened, 5 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with broth or wine, scraping up the fond. Return the protein to the pan, cover, and simmer (or oven-braise) for 30–40 minutes.
- Check for doneness — the protein should be tender and pull easily. Remove from heat and rest 5 minutes before serving.
- Plate with the reduced pan juices spooned over. Serve with rice, bread, or vegetables to round out the meal.
