7 Andouille Sausage Recipes That Make Great Comfort Meals!

Pronounced “Ann-doo-ee”, this coarsely ground sausage is encased in genuine pork intestine casings, with a savory combo of wine, pork butt and trimmings, and lots of creole seasoning inside.

You can make your own Andouille sausage, like Emeril’s homemade recipe here or try it from a sausage-making expert like Duke’s (aff) here:  

Not to be confused with hot links, little smokies or really any other sausage, Andouille recipe was crafted in Germany, named by the French, adopted by Cajun chefs, popularized in Louisiana cooking, and now enjoyed all over the world. 

While there are many sausage styles, tastes, and types in this fine culinary land, Andouille sausage has a casing that must be discarded, as it’s often “double-bagged” and made of real pork gut, so it’s tough. It handles the long, arduous smoking process, so the flavor is great, but removing the casing can be time-consuming, and for some, possible off-putting to the dining experience. That said, the flavor may be worth every effort.
