La Methode;
~~~~~~~~~~~
Place butter and olive oil in a large skillet on a low to medium fire. Add scored sausage and cook for 5 minutes. Add swiss chard, and season with a pinch of salt and fresh cracked pepper in the same pan. Turn sausage occasionally until lightly browned on all sides which will take about 10 minutes. Remove sausage from pan and keep of a warmed platter in the oven while you finish the swiss chard. Toss the chard several times until the stems are tender. Place the swiss chard with the sausage in the warm oven. Add the wine to the pan juices, increase the heat to medium high, stirring occasionally until it is reduced and thickened by half. Drizzle this sauce on greens. Drizzle mustard sauce on the sausage when on individual plates. Serve with fresh French bread. Bon Appetite!
