Anndouille Po' Boy

Andouille is a type of smoked sausage that is often associated with Cajun and Creole cuisine, particularly in Louisiana. It is usually made from pork, although some variations may include other meats, and is seasoned with spices such as garlic, pepper and various herbs. The sausage has a distinctive flavor due to the smoking process, which gives it a rich and robust taste.

Andouille is commonly used in a variety of dishes, including gumbo, jambalaya, and étouffée, adding depth and a spicy kick to these meals. It is often used in Andouille Po’ Boy sandwiches. The texture is often coarse, and it can be found both fresh and fully cooked in grocery stores and specialty markets.

  9. Top each with 1/4 of onions.
