Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - ⌛ 40 min.
Boiling:
This is the simplest method, but be careful—some of the sausage’s flavor will leach into the cooking water.To cook, remove the string and place the sausage— without pricking it —in a pot, cover it with cold water, and place it over medium heat.
Stage 2
Cook, covered, over low heat for 40 minutes.
If you plan to use it later, let it cool in the cooking liquid.
Note: You can then use the cooking liquid to cook rice, polenta, or vegetables, for example.

Stage 3
Baking:
This method produces a much more flavorful result, as the sausage cooks in its own juices, which concentrates the flavors.Remove the string and the wooden skewer, then wrap the sausage in aluminum foil.
Stage 4
Then bake at 200°C (390°F) for about 1 hour.
When you cut into it, you'll find a slightly caramelized sausage with an extraordinary flavor.

Are you sure that's real Morteau sausage, because real good ones are never too salty.
