Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix cornmeal¹, flour, baking powder, milk³, half an egg, 8 g butter⁹, and a pinch of salt.
Spread the batter thinly in a baking dish and bake for 15 minutes until firm and crispy.
Chop onion⁷, celery⁸, and sausages, then sauté in the remaining butter⁹ for 6–7 minutes until lightly browned.
Crumble the baked cornbread¹, mix with the sautéed ingredients, thyme, black pepper, and the remaining egg.
Dissolve a bouillon cube in 80 ml hot water, pour into the mixture, and stir until moistened.
Bake in the dish for 25–30 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until golden-brown and firm in the center.

Tips

Why it works: Bake the cornbread for 15 minutes at 190 °C so it turns crisp and doesn't fall apart when crumbled. If it's raw inside, the bake will be soggy.
Substitutions: Swap the celery for 25 g of parsley or grated carrot (20 g). Use Doktorskaya sausage (50 g), diced, instead of the sausages.
Common mistakes: If the bake hasn't browned and the middle is still wet, extend the time to 35 minutes. Check with the tip of a knife: it should come out dry.
Storing and reheating: Keep 3 days in the fridge and reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes with the plate covered. Don't freeze, it will crumble.
Serve with: Serve with boiled potatoes, or on its own with a green salad dressed with vinegar. It goes well with turkey or pork.
