Translation
A Sage-flavoured Dish
Take sage, grind it and mix it up with eggs. Take a sausage and chop into small pieces and place in a small pan and add grease to this and fry it. When it has fried sufficiently, add the sage and egg [mixture], but do not cook too hard. If it is an Ember day : take sage, butter and eggs and let it become thick with the sauce and serve it forth.
Modern Redaction
Ingredients:
4
sage leaves
4 eggs
1 large smoked sausage, sliced into rings
4 tbsp lard
Method:
Shred the sage leaves, pound in a mortar then beat in the eggs. Set this mixture aside.
Melt the lard in a frying pan, add the sausage and fry until well browned. Pour in the egg and sage mix and cook, stirring constantly with a fork, until the mixture scrambles.
Serve immediately, before it sets into an omelette.
