Toulouse sausage (Saucisse de Toulouse)

This traditional Toulouse sausage consists of coarsely minced pork, with the only other additions being salt and pepper. It first appeared in the 18th century, and nowadays it is a hallmark product that is usually sold rolled in a coil at traditional markets in Toulouse.

The sausage is commonly used in cassoulets, but it can also be grilled, braised, or fried, then served alongside mashed potatoes and braised vegetables.
