Boudin noir, pomme purée and glazed grapes

Begin by making the pomme purée. Place the chopped potatoes into a pan, cover with cold water and season with salt. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and allow to simmer until cooked

Meanwhile, prepare the boudin noir. Peel off the skin and slice each sausage into three equal pieces, cut on an angle. Place the boudin noir pieces onto a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and cook under a hot grill for 5 minutes, turning halfway through. Keep warm until ready to serve

For the glazed grapes, combine the lemon juice in a bowl with 25ml water. Carefully remove the skin from the grapes using a teaspoon, placing the peeled grapes into the lemon water to stop any discolouration

Add the remaining 50ml water to a pan and bring to the boil. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the diced butter to emulsify, seasoning if required. Drain the peeled grapes from the lemon water and glaze in the butter emulsion

Once the potatoes have cooked, drain and leave to steam for 3-4 minutes so they dry out slightly. Pass the potatoes through a mouli then again through a drum sieve, or alternatively use a potato ricer and mash until the potatoes form a smooth purée. Mix the diced butter through the pomme purée and season to taste

Combine the milk and double cream in a pan with the pomme purée and heat, whisking vigorously to emulsify the mixture - be careful not to overheat as the mixture will split. Taste and season if required

In a separate pan, heat the oil and gently colour the shallots, carrots, garlic and thyme. Add the red wine and port and heat until three-quarters reduced. Pour in the chicken stock and allow to reduce further until the liquid has reached a sauce-like consistency. Strain through muslin or a sieve before serving

To serve, divide the pomme purée between four plates and top with the pieces of boudin noir. Spoon over the red wine sauce and garnish with glazed grapes and chopped parsley
