Loading...As an aperitif, in a starter or even for a sandwich, dried filet mignon is a must. And why not also use it during raclette? This homemade dried filet mignon recipe is easy and quick to make. However, you must plan a little in advance to allow a minimum drying time of three weeks. Better than in the store, it is a quarter of the price, you can vary the spices and you will avoid chemicals. Why add sugar? The addition of sugar allows the sausage to ferment, meaning it feeds the lactic acid bacteria, which acidifies the dough. It also transforms saltpeter, which is composed of nitrates, into nitrites. It also compensates for the taste of salt.
