CAJUN BAKED EGGPLANT WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE



Cajun Baked Eggplant With Andouille Sausage image

This is a great recipe based on one served at the Axe Mill tavern in East Douglas, Massachusetts as presented in the R.S.V.P. section of Bon Appetit's December 1996 magazine. I tried this at home, unfortunately, not yet at the restaurant! We do keep moving closer to it as I made it when I lived in California, and now I'm in Maine. Special note in the article: "Tasso, a spiced smoked Creole ham, and capocollo, a cured Italian sausage, are available at specialty foods stores."

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
4 cups fresh white breadcrumbs
1 1/2 large eggplants, peeled, cut lengthswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
8 tablespoons about olive oil
2 1/2 cups purchased chunky mild salsa
1/2 lb tasso or 1/2 lb hot capocollo, chopped
1/2 lb fully cooked andouille sausages or 1/2 lb beef hot links, chopped
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
2 cups grated white cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Place flour on large plate.
  • In large bowl, whisk eggs and milk together.
  • Place breadcrumbs on another large plate.
  • Coat 1 eggplant slice with flour; shake off excess. Dip into egg mixture, then dredge through breadcrumbs. Place single-layer on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining eggplant slices, flour, egg mixture and breadcrumbs.
  • In heavy large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Working in batches, cook eggplant until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels; add more oil to skillet as necessary. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange half of eggplant slices in 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Spoon 1 1/2 cups salsa over. Sprinkle with ham and sausage, then 1 1/2 cups of each cheese. Cover with remaining eggplant slices, then remaining salsa and cheese.
  • Bake until cheese melts and casserole is heated through, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly.

CAJUN SCRAMBLE WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE

A yummy sounding breakfast from the Johnsonville sausage company. While this sounds like a great breakfast, it would make a perfect dinner, too, accompanied by a nice green salad.

Time 28m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces andouille sausages, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
6 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red rose potato, 1/4 inch dice
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded
Crystal hot sauce (to garnish, or other Louisiana style hot sauce)

Steps:

  • In a medium size bowl whisk together eggs and Cajun spice blend and set aside.
  • In a large non stick skillet over medium-low heat, add olive oil. Allow pan to warm up then add potato and cook stirring frequently for 5 minutes.
  • Adjust the heat to medium; add onion and green pepper and sauté for another 5 minutes, allowing potatoes and onions to brown slightly. Add sliced sausage and stir fry another 2 to 3 minutes. (If the skillet seems dry, add a tablespoon of olive oil before adding eggs).
  • Pour the eggs over the sausage mixture, allow them to sit and cook for a minute. Gently fold over the edges, (bringing the edges to the center) and carefully blend and turn the egg mixture allowing the uncooked eggs to reach the bottom the pan and the ingredients to incorporate into the eggs. After each fold, pause for a few seconds allowing the eggs to cook.
  • After a couple of minutes, and when the eggs look moist and almost done sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs and sausage. Fold the egg and sausage mixture over a couple of more times allowing the cheese to melt (less than 1 minute).
  • Divide the scramble between 2 plates top each with your favorite Louisiana-style hot sauce or salsa.
