Traditional Lyonnais Cooking Sausages for Foodservice Professionals
A celebrated hallmark of Lyon’s culinary heritage and traditional French bistro dining, the saucisson lyonnais is an essential addition to regional menus. Crafted from finely minced pork meat, delicately seasoned, and often studded with pistachios or truffles, this poaching sausage is traditionally served warm alongside steamed potatoes, braised lentils, or baked inside a golden brioche casing.

Emblematic of the Lyonnaise region, the Lyon sausage with a generous hash has a firm but nevertheless melting texture in the mouth. Embossed in natural casing, its aromas are multiplied by a slow steaming that also gives it a beautiful pink hue. This Lyonnais sausage is classically accompanied by potatoes and a red wine sauce. It also brings its full flavor to your brioche sausages.
This cooked sausage, topped with crunchy pistachios, is the emblematic speciality of Lyon's gastronomy, a real invitation to indulge! For perfect doneness, cook these sausages for 35 minutes in a pan of simmering water, without pricking them. They are traditionally served with boiled potatoes or a Randy lentil salad. These cooking sausages are also ideal for barbecuing or grilling. You can use them to prepare sausage and cauliflower kebabs a la plancha, accompanied by a chimichurri sauce. For an original recipe, try it as a piperade, or with red wine in a papillote on the barbecue or a la plancha. For a refined starter, opt for a brioche with real cooked Lyon sausage. On the bistro side, there's nothing like a celery remoulade with Dijon mustard and pickled red onions. You could also try grilled leeks, cooked Lyon sausage, ravigote sauce...
