She runs BAYONA (1 of the finest restaurants in New Orleans) & has been garnering local & national acclaim since 1986. In 1989, FOOD & WINE declared her 1 of that yr's Best New Chefs. Her training is French & her food global (including So Louisiana Cajun & New Orleans Creole). Her Christmas dinner was featured in Food & Wine Magazine & included a shrimp & andouille stuffing ("my version of something that's fairly common in New Orleans"). Of this recipe, she said "Andouille adds a wonderful smoky flavor to sweet cornbread stuffing". As an added bonus, this stuffing can be "made & refrigerated 1 dy before baking. Just bring it to room temp before baking." Prep time was estimated, begins w/pre-cooked cornbread & 15 min was allowed for ingredient prep. Enjoy!

CORNBREAD STUFFING WITH OYSTERS AND ANDOUILLE



Cornbread Stuffing with Oysters and Andouille image

Pat: In the South, most stuffing recipes call for some kind of meat, whether it's bacon, liver, chicken, or boiled turkey, as well as some kind of stock to keep the stuffing moist. In this recipe, the briny oysters meld beautifully with the spicy andouille sausage, and the end result is a stuffing so good that you won't want to wait until Thanksgiving to try it. For the best results, use day-old cornbread, so it has time to dry out a bit, which will enable it to absorb all the flavorful juices inside the bird.

Yield serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 recipe Crusty Cornbread (page 29), or two 8 1/2 ounce boxes cornbread mix, prepared as directed, and cut into 1 inch cubes (about 8 cups)

1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Set aside the prepared and cubed cornbread.
  • Grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the andouille, onion, celery, bell pepper, and jalapeños to the skillet, and cook, stirring, for 5 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornbread with the stock, then add the cooked vegetables, the eggs, oysters, scallions, parsley, salt, cayenne pepper, poultry seasoning, oregano, and thyme. Using your hands, mix all the ingredients together to combine. Transfer the cornbread mixture to the prepared baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour.

The Origin of Andouille Cornbread Stuffing

Although the exact origins of andouille cornbread stuffing are unclear, it is believed to have originated in Louisiana. Andouille sausage originated in France, but it was brought to Louisiana by French immigrants who settled in the southern part of the state. Over time, the sausage became a staple ingredient in Cajun and Creole cuisine. In the South, cornbread is also a beloved staple food. The combination of cornbread with andouille sausage and other savory ingredients like onions and celery results in a mouth-watering stuffing that has become a popular Southern tradition.

Cornbread
Cornbread is the foundation of this recipe. You can make your own cornbread from scratch or use a pre-made cornbread mix. To make the best cornbread, use stoneground cornmeal and bake it until it's golden and slightly crispy.
Andouille Sausage
Andouille sausage is a smoked, spicy sausage made from pork. Andouille adds a smoky, spicy flavor to the stuffing that makes it truly delicious. If you can't find andouille sausage, you can use any spicy smoked sausage instead.
Onions and Celery
Onions and celery are a traditional stuffing base that add flavor and texture to the dish. Sauteed until they're soft and slightly caramelized, they're the perfect complement to cornbread and sausage.
Chicken Broth and Butter
Chicken broth and butter are the liquids that bind the stuffing together. Chicken broth adds flavor and moisture to the stuffing, while butter ensures it's not too dry.
Herbs and Seasonings
Finally, the herbs and seasonings add depth and complexity of flavor to the dish. Sage, thyme, salt, and pepper are the standard herbs and seasonings used in most recipes.

When it comes to preparing stuffing recipes, there are countless ways to approach the task. However, one recipe, in particular, stands out from the rest: Andouille cornbread stuffing. This flavorful, hearty dish is sure to impress guests at any holiday gathering or family dinner. In this article, we'll explore some valuable tips for making Andouille cornbread stuffing, from the best ingredients to use, to cooking techniques that will make your dish stand out. Ingredients The first step in making the perfect Andouille cornbread stuffing is selecting your ingredients. For the cornbread base, you can either make your own from scratch or use a store-bought mix. However, if you opt for a store-bought mix, make sure to choose one that is not overly sweet, as this will clash with the savory flavors of the Andouille sausage. When it comes to Andouille sausage, quality matters. Look for a properly ground sausage that has been well-seasoned with spices like paprika and cayenne pepper. This will provide the signature smoky and spicy flavor that Andouille sausage is known for. Many grocery stores now offer Andouille sausage in the deli section, or you can find it at specialty meat markets. In addition to cornbread and Andouille sausage, there are other ingredients that can enhance the flavor of your stuffing. Onions, celery, garlic, and herbs like thyme and sage are common additions that add depth and complexity to the dish. Chicken or vegetable broth is also a key ingredient that provides moisture and helps bind the stuffing together. Cooking Techniques Once you have your ingredients, it's time to start cooking. One important tip for making Andouille cornbread stuffing is to toast the cornbread before adding the other ingredients. This helps dry out the bread and gives it a crispy texture that complements the soft sausage and vegetables. To toast the cornbread, place it on a baking sheet and bake in a 350-degree oven for 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned and crispy. When cooking the Andouille sausage, be careful not to overcrowd the pan. This can cause the sausage to steam instead of brown, resulting in a less flavorful dish. Use a large, non-stick skillet, and cook the sausage in batches if necessary, allowing each piece to brown evenly. Once the sausage is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside. When cooking the vegetables, start with the onions and celery, which take the longest to cook. Cook them over medium heat until they are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and herbs and cook for an additional minute or two, until fragrant. Be sure not to burn the garlic or herbs, as this can give your stuffing a bitter taste. Once the vegetables are cooked, add the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. The broth will help moisten the stuffing and bind it together. Add the toasted cornbread and cooked Andouille sausage, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix the stuffing, as this can cause it to become mushy. Baking the Stuffing After the stuffing is mixed together, it's time to bake it. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and transfer the stuffing to a greased baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes, until heated through. To give the stuffing a crispy top, remove the foil for the final 10-15 minutes of baking. Before serving, garnish your Andouille cornbread stuffing with fresh herbs like parsley or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish. Serve hot and enjoy! Conclusion Andouille cornbread stuffing is a delicious and comforting dish that is always a crowd-pleaser. With the right ingredients and cooking techniques, you can make a stuffing that's bursting with flavor and texture. So, whether you're hosting a holiday gathering or simply want to elevate your weeknight dinner, give this recipe a try and impress your taste buds and your guests.
