Instructions

Preparation

  1. 1Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a griddle pan, heat it over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. 2Slice the saucisson into thick rounds, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.5 to 1 cm) thick.
  3. 3In a small bowl, toss the sliced saucisson with olive oil and herbes de provence, ensuring each slice is lightly coated.

Cooking

  1. 1Place the seasoned saucisson slices directly on the preheated grill or griddle pan.
  2. 2Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly charred and heated through. The fat should render slightly, making the edges crispy.

Serving

  1. 1Remove the grilled saucisson from the heat and arrange on a serving platter.
  2. 2Serve immediately with slices of fresh crusty bread and a generous side of cornichons.

Tips

  • Don't overcrowd the grill; cook the saucisson in batches if necessary for even charring.
  • A simple green salad with a vinaigrette would also complement this dish beautifully.
  • For extra flavor, lightly toast the crusty bread on the grill before serving.
