Vaud-style tarte flambée
Intro
A thin, light and crispy dough, topped with potatoes, crème fraîche, spring onions and thin slices of genuine Vaud sausage.
The succulent cabbage sausage from Vaud, “Saucisse aux choux vaudoise”, has an intriguing history. When the emperor Charlemagne summoned a gathering at Orbe in Vaud in AD 879, locals soon ran out of meat with which to feed the royal retinue. Butchers had the ingenious idea of bulking out their pork sausages with chopped cabbage – and a delicacy was born.
