Ingredients

2 cuillères à soupeDijon mustard
20 grammesbutter
10 centilitresdry white wine
2 piècesshallots
1 cuillère à soupefresh parsley
1 pincéesalt and pepper
Instructions
1PREPARE THE ANDOUILLETTES: Remove the andouillettes from the refrigerator 10 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Lightly prick the skin with the tip of a knife every 2 centimeters to prevent them from bursting during cooking. This ensures even and regular cooking. Gently pat them dry with paper towels.
2PREPARE THE SAUCE: Peel and finely chop the shallots. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, add the shallots and let them sweat for 2 minutes without browning. Pour in the dry white wine and let it reduce by half, approximately 3-4 minutes. Stir in the Dijon mustard off the heat, mixing well until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous sauce. Keep warm and set aside.
3HEAT THE GRILL: Preheat your grill or grill pan on high heat for 5 minutes. The grill must be very hot to create a beautiful caramelized crust. You can check the temperature by dropping a water droplet on it—it should evaporate immediately with a sizzle.
4COOK THE ANDOUILLETTES: Place the andouillettes on the hot grill at an angle to create the characteristic crosshatch marks. Let them cook for 5-6 minutes without moving them until a beautiful caramelized crust forms. Turn them gently with tongs and continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes. The andouillette should be well browned on the outside and hot throughout.
5FINISH AND SERVE: Arrange the hot grilled andouillettes on preheated plates. Generously pour the mustard sauce on the side. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and give a turn of the pepper mill. Serve immediately with crispy fries and a cornichon for an authentic touch.
