Montbéliard sausage with parsnips and pistachios

Serves: 6
Difficulty: Easy

This is a very pleasing winter warmer and easy to prepare too. Warm your cockles thoroughly by washing it down with a Red Jura, whose notes of black fruit and spices will stand up to the smoked sausage. The tannic structure will remain velvety and therefore it won’t upset the delicacy or creaminess of the parsnip puree. Or, if you prefer a glass of white, a Côte-du-Jura Savagnin will go very well with scrumptious French sausages.
