Remarks
You can, of course, use fish fillets other than whiting, depending on the season and location.

If you have old-fashioned mustard, use it instead of classic mustard, as the seeds add a little extra texture.

You can also add a dash of Espelette pepper to the mustard, to enhance the taste a little.
Keeping: Enjoy within minutes of removing from the oven.

Winegrowers' sausage casserole
Winegrowers' sausage casserole
This sausage casserole is a simple mix of vegetables with smoked sausage, but the cooking liquid in this case is dry white wine (and hence the name). The casserole is cooked long and slow in the oven with a lid. This allows all the flavours of the vegetables, wine and sausage to mingle harmoniously.
