Andouille sausage - What do I do with it?
12/15/2011 11:51:12 AM
This years Christmas Box from CarbineGrandma include her usual order to the smoker to "send them an assortment of sausage". This year in with the linguisa and "cheesy bravarian" they included Andouille sausage (for some reason cheesy bavarian sounds like a fat guy in liderhosen with his hand on the St. Paulie Girl's bum, but I digress).
What should, can I do with Andouille sausage? From my limited knowledge, it sounds like maybe something that would be a good for a meal for the BCS Championship game? Not really looking for Jumbolaya.
Ideas?
Thanks

They are good to eat plain or on a bun like a brat. I had a dish at a restaraunt that had an alfredo type sauce/noodles with andouille cut up in it. It was great. We use them pretty much like you'd use any other smoked sausage....just a bit spicier.

I'll cook it up then slice it into pasta dishes typically.

That sounds great! Could this also be done in the oven?

Yes, but I would char the peppers on your stovetop first

Those do sound good.
Hmmm...maybe dice the andouille up really small, mix with cheese, and make jalapeno poppers?

This works well.
They are fantastic with just about any pasta.

We use them in red beans and rice, gumbo, and shrimp and grits.

In addition to the above
try it in chili instead of the usual beef/pork
really adds a different flavor

jamie oliver has a breakfast recipe that works well,
I have pics somewhere, if I can remember later I'll repost,
basically,
boil taters until almost done,
crush slightly and add to pan with herbs (rosemary and thyme) and fry with cut up sausage,
meanwhile beat a bunch of eggs (season with salt, and 1/2 and 1/2 or milk)
add eggs mixture to pan and put in broiler until set,

Thank's everyone 
Based on the Jalepeno Popper suggestion above, we decided to subsitute the sausage into CarbineMom's Stuff Green Pepper recipe. Didn't have enough sausage for the whole batch. Ran the sausage through the food process, then included it 1 lb sausage to 2 lb ground beef as the meat browned. I think we got about a dozen jumbo Bell Peppers.
Really really good, and 7 or 8 are now in the frige.
Thanks again.
