Net: 650g (4 extra large Sausages) ☆ Staff Choice ☆ Traditional Toulouse sausage — south-west France

Traditional Toulouse sausages from south-west France — 95% pork, hand-minced for a coarse, chunky texture that machine-ground sausages cannot replicate. Simply seasoned with a traditional French spice blend. The essential cassoulet sausage, and equally good grilled, roasted, or pan-fried. Fresh, natural casing.

£17.50

Traditional French Toulouse sausages — the classic saucisse de Toulouse from south-west France. These are all-pork sausages with 95% pork content, hand-minced rather than machine-ground, which gives them a coarser, chunkier texture that you can see and taste. The difference from a standard sausage is immediate: the hand-cut pork holds its shape during cooking, delivers a more satisfying bite, and has a genuine meaty flavour that finer-ground sausages lose.

Toulouse sausage is the essential ingredient in cassoulet — the slow-cooked combination of white beans, confit duck, and pork that is one of the cornerstones of south-west French cooking. But it is far more versatile than that. These sausages are excellent grilled, pan-fried, roasted with root vegetables, sliced into lentils, or added to hearty winter stews. The seasoning is traditional and restrained — a simple French spice blend that enhances the quality of the pork without overpowering it. This is a sausage that relies on the meat rather than the spicing.

Fresh, in natural casing.

Origin: France

Ingredients: Pork (95%), salt, spices, natural casing

Storage: Refrigerate at 0–4°C. Best before date on packaging.

Net: 650g (4 extra large Sausages)

These are fresh sausages and must be cooked through before eating.

For pan-frying: Heat a heavy pan over medium heat with a small amount of oil. Place the sausages in the pan and cook for 12–15 minutes, turning regularly, until evenly browned on all sides and cooked through. Do not prick the skins — the casing holds the juices in and keeps the sausage moist.

For roasting: Preheat the oven to 170°C (fan 150°C). Place the sausages in a roasting tin, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and roast for 25–30 minutes until cooked through and golden on the outside.

For cassoulet: Brown the sausages in a pan on all sides first, then add them whole or sliced to your cassoulet pot with the beans, confit duck, and aromatics. The coarse hand-minced texture holds its shape well during long, slow cooking — the sausages will not fall apart even after hours in the pot.

For grilling or barbecue: Cook over medium heat, turning regularly, for 12–15 minutes. The natural casing crisps well over direct heat.

Toulouse sausages pair naturally with the flavours of south-west France: white beans, duck confit, lentils, root vegetables, and robust herbs like thyme, bay, and rosemary. They are also excellent with a sharp Dijon mustard, a simple green salad, or sliced and tossed through warm potatoes with cornichons and a mustardy vinaigrette.
