2 sheallĂłid
dos beag peirsile
ola phis talĂșn
Mustard Dijon
Salann, piobar dubh
Fínéagar bån fíona, ceirtlise, nó biotåille.
IspĂ­nĂ­ (Is fearr ispĂ­nĂ­ Toulouse nĂł ispĂ­nĂ­ garbha IodĂĄlacha. Muna bhfuil siad seo ar fĂĄil, ceannaigh an t-ispĂ­n is fearr & is daoire & is fĂ©idir. NĂĄ bac leis na brĂ©agispĂ­nĂ­ bĂĄna mĂ­lĂ­theacha sin atĂĄ lĂĄn ceimiceĂĄn – nĂ­ dhĂ©anfaidh siad cĂșis).

MODH
Bain an craiceann de na prĂĄtaĂ­ & ansin dĂ©an cĂłcarĂĄil orthu go dtĂ­ go mbĂ­onn siad “go dĂ­reach bog”. Cuir na hispĂ­nĂ­ is rogha leat isteach san uisce cĂ©anna go ceann 10 mbom. nĂł mar sin lena gcĂłcarĂĄil – nĂ­ bheidh an oiread cĂ©anna leictreachais, oibre nĂĄ uirlisĂ­ de dhĂ­th ort! Bain as an uisce iad & dĂ©an iad a ghrĂ­osadh faoin ghrĂ­oscĂĄn. Nuair a bheidh na prĂĄtaĂ­ dĂ©anta, bain as an uisce iad, athĂșraigh iad & dĂ©an slisĂ­nĂ­ dĂ­obh ach coinnigh an t-uisce te sin sa phota! Blasta, blasta, iontach, iontach blasta!
DĂ©an an t-anlann fĂ­nĂ©agair – cuir 3 spĂșnĂłg bhoird mhĂłra den ola olĂłige isteach i mbabhla mĂłr measctha.
Cuir 1 spĂșnĂłg bhoird mhĂłr den mhustard Dijon Ăłn Fhrainc (dĂ©anann nĂĄisiĂșin eile mustard “Dijon” ach nĂ­ bhĂ­onn sĂ© mar an gcĂ©anna, mar nĂ­ thuigeann siad nach ceart siĂșcra a chur i mustard Dijon). Buail isteach Ă© (bain ĂșsĂĄid as forc mura bhfuil greadtĂłir agat) go dtĂ­ go mbĂ­onn sĂ© measctha mar is ceart & ansin cuir 1 spĂșnĂłg bhoird den fhĂ­nĂ©agar ceirtlise ann.
(MĂĄ cheannaĂ­onn tĂș prĂłcaĂ­ gircĂ­nĂ­ nĂł oinniĂșn srl. is iondĂșil go mbaintear ĂșsĂĄid as fĂ­nĂ©agar biotĂĄillĂ­ lena leasĂș. Is fĂ©idir an fĂ­nĂ©agar a ĂșsĂĄid le hanlanna den sĂłrt seo a dhĂ©anamh i ndiaidh duit na picilĂ­ a ithe.)
Cuir sciar fial peirsile ann & blaistigh le salann & le piobar. Gearr na seallĂłidĂ­ go mion, cuir isteach & measc go maith.
Nuair atå an bia ar fad réidh, déan slisíní de na hispíní & coinnigh te iad faoi ghríoscån ar theas íseal nó san oigheann. Cuir na pråtaí slisnithe i gcriathar miotail & tum san uisce te iad lena dtéamh arís.
Bain na prĂĄtaĂ­ den uisce, croith an t-uisce breise dĂ­ob & lig dĂłibh titim isteach san fhĂ­nĂ©igrĂ©ad sa bhabhla lĂĄithreach. Measc lĂĄithreach. SĂșnn na prĂĄtaĂ­ i bhfad nĂ­os mĂł den anlann isteach & iad fliuch te. Is Ă© sin is cĂșis leis an bhĂ©ile seo bheith chomh speisialta sin, in ainneoin nach bhfuil a lĂĄn comhĂĄbhar ann. TĂ©ann blas na seallĂłide & an fhĂ­nĂ©agar isteach go domhain i ngach slisĂ­n prĂĄta & sin Ă© an fĂĄth nach fĂ©idir gan an sailĂ©ad seo a ithe nĂĄ dearmad a dhĂ©anamh den bhlas ina dhiaidh!
Cóirigh na pråtaí ar phlåta & cuir slisíní den ispín te ar a mbarr. Ith le duilleoga sailéid & le tråtaí.

Warm potato and sausage salad

INGREDIENTS

2 or 3 potatoes per person. ( potatoes can be cooked specifically for this salad or could be left over from the previous night’s meal. In any case – peel them).
2 shallots
Small bunch parsley
Groundnut or peanut oil
Dijon mustard
Salt, black pepper
White wine, cider or spirit vinegar.
Sausages (preferably Toulouse or an Italian coarse sausage. Seek out the best coarse pure pork sausage you can find and can afford.

METHOD
First, peel the potatoes and then cook them “just so”. Save on electricity, washing up, extra utensils etc, by plunging the sausage into the same water for about 10 mins. to cook them through. Remove & brown under the grill. When the potatoes are cooked, remove, refresh & slice but keep that water in the pot. Tasty, tasty, very, very tasty.
Make the vinaigrette sauce –place 3 large tbsps of olive oil in a large mixing bowl.
Add 1 large tbsp of French Dijon Mustard (I stress French as Dijon mustard made by other nationalities is just not the same as they simply haven’t grasped that you don’t put sugar in Dijon mustard). Whisk this in (using a fork if you don’t have a whisk) until fully incorporated, then add 1 tbsp of cider vinegar. (Incidentally –if you buy quality jars of gherkins, onions, etc, you’ll find that they are usually preserved in spirit vinegar. When you’ve eaten the pickles, use it for sauces such as this.)
Add a generous helping of parsley, season with salt & pepper. Finely chop the shallots and add to this & mix well.
When ready to serve, slice your sausages & keep warm under a low grill or in the oven. Place the sliced potatoes in a wire sieve and dip into the hot water to heat them through again.
Remove the potatoes, shake off the excess water & drop immediately into the vinaigrette in the bowl. Stir immediately as the hot wet potatoes absorb so much more of the sauce which really is what makes it so special, despite the paucity of ingredients. The combination of shallot and vinegar goes right to the heart of each slice of potato rendering this dish unforgettable and unputdownable.
Arrange the potatoes on a plate and top with the slices of hot sausage. Serve with salad leaves & tomatoes.
