Remarks
You can grill the diced Morteau sausage before pouring it into the polenta for a spicier taste.

Cancoillotte metton is not easy to find if you're not in Franche-Comté in France. If you can't find it, substitute it with classic cancoillotte.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film, can be frozen.

Bouquet garni
Bouquet garni
Used very frequently in French cuisine, a secret of French chefs, it adds flavour to a lot of recipes, and it's easy to prepare. The basic principle is to make a small bundle of herbs, bind them in green leek leaves and to tie it up, so that the whole thing can be removed and discarded easily after cooking.

Clarified butter
Clarified butter
This is a way of melting butter to eliminate all the impurities. The clarified butter can then be heated without spoiling, and is more digestible. It is ideal for cooking at high temperatures where small black specks would spoil the appearance, or for emulsified sauces like béarnaise or mousseline.
