with Creative Cooking Duchess Potatoes and Artichoke Hearts Elegante

More from The Creative Cooking Course (as excerpted in Mr. Big Food’s “The Big Food Manual and Survivalist Flourishing Guide”)… .

“Although this recipe comes from the Province of Touraine in France, it is highly popular in southern America among the Louisiana French. Sausage Lyonnaise, an excellent breakfast or supper dish, is made from smoked sausages called andouille (pronounced “ahn-dou-i”), a well-known variety in Louisiana and various other southern locations. This highly seasoned smoked sausage is often added to creole gumbo for a very exceptional flavor. If andouille sausages are not available in your area, you may substitute any highly seasoned, smoked sausage.”

“Sausage Lyonnaise is made simply by browning andouille sausages over low heat, sprinkling them with bits of parsley, and serving them with potatoes. … hot French mustard … heightens the zesty flavor of these delicious sausages.”—The Creative Cooking Course (1982)
