Saucisse de Morteau with Lentils

Saucisse de Morteau is a smoked sausage from the commune of Morteau, in the Franche-Comté region. It has a very intense flavour that really does pair amazingly with lentils & other pulses. If you don't have access to this precise sausage you can replace it with another smoked, cooked sausage.
