Pierce the horse sausages and put them in boiling water for 10
minutes. Dry and fry briefly in a pan with some butter. Bake
sliced onion glassy in the same pan. Add crushed garlic, finely
chopped celery and simmer for a few minutes. Stir in tomato
paste, add the sausages and the bouquet garni. Pour water
until everything is covered.
Season with salt and pepper. Leave to simmer for 1 ½ hours
under half-closed lid. Allow to cool and put the pan in the
refrigerator overnight.
Degrease the pan and heat up the preparation on a low heat.
Bind the sauce, if desired. Serve with bread or a potato
preparation of your choice.

Many old regional dishes originated from poverty. So also
the horse sausages. The meat came from old worn horses
from farms, the port of Antwerp and coal mines. The
product was both cheap and nutritious.
