7 Uses for French Garlic Sausages

Nearly every culture has its own form of sausage, but did you know that the word itself has a French origin? Saussiche comes from the Latin salsicus, meaning “seasoned with salt.” We love celebrating culinary history here at Cuisinery, so we offer no fewer than nine types of sausages. Our most classic is the French garlic sausage, made following a recipe developed by Chef Daniel Monneaux. Monneaux’s methods are based in French tradition, using ethically-sourced ingredients including humanely-raised pork. With sausages on hand, there’s no limit to the dishes you can create. Here are just a few of our favorite ideas: 

Charcuterie

After thawing, slice sausages thinly and serve on a colorful board of cheese, salami, fruit, and vegetables. Water crackers are a great neutral option, allowing rich flavors to stand out.

Grill Out

Swap hot dogs for sausages next time you host an outdoor party! Alternatively, chop them into wide bites, skewer, and grill for some delicious kebabs.

Stews and Soup

From gumbo to cassoulet, French garlic sausages work well in any saucy dish. Depending on what else is going into the pot, try swapping French garlic for one of our international options, like Spanish chorizo or lamb merguez.

Pasta

Sausages are a great addition to any number of Italian-inspired pasta dishes. Chop them up and add to lasagna, or crumble them into a marinara sauce. 

Sandwich

Speaking of Italian, sausage is the key ingredient in an authentic Italian sandwich. For an unbeatable lunch, chop sausage lengthwise and toast on bread with peppers, red sauce, and pepper-jack cheese.

Breakfast

A staple of breakfast in many northern European cultures, you can enjoy sausages with eggs, beans, potatoes, or even a casserole!

Southern-Style

The American South has long celebrated sausages in its cuisine. Cheese grits and sausage is an incredible meal for any time of the day, and don’t hesitate to drizzle with homemade gravy for added country flavor!
