Best Creole Smoked Sausage Recipes

CHICKEN AND ANDOUILLE SMOKED SAUSAGE GUMBO (CREOLE STEW)

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the onions, bell peppers, okra and celery; set aside.
• Combine all but 1/2 cup of the flour, the salt, garlic powder, and red pepper in a plastic bag, add the chicken pieces and shake until chicken is well coated. In large heavy skillet heat 1 1/2-inches of oil until very hot (375 degrees F.) Fry the chicken until the crust is brown on both sides and meat is cooked, about 5 to 8 minutes per side; drain on paper towels.
• Remove the pan from the heat and pour the hot oil into a cup, leaving as many brown particles in the pan as possible. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any stuck particles, then return 1/2 cup of the hot oil to the pan. Place the pan over high heat. Using a long handled whisk, gradually stir in remaining flour. Cook, whisking constantly, until a roux is formed and is a dark red-brown. Remove from heat and add the reserved vegetable mixture, stirring constantly until the roux stops getting darker. Return to a low heat and cook until the vegetables are soft.
• In a separate large pot, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add the roux by spoonfuls to the boiling stock, stirring between each addition. Reduce to a simmer and add the andouille and remaining ingredients, except file powder. Simmer for 45 minutes. While gumbo is simmering, bone the cooked chicken and cut meat into 1/2-inch dice. Add to the gumbo. Add file powder 5 minutes before serving and continue to simmer for 5 minutes.
• Serve gumbo on a mound of cooked rice.

EASY SMOKED SAUSAGE CREOLE

KAJUN KALACHES WITH HOT TAILS SMOKED SAUSAGE AND CREOLE HONEY MUSTARD

Steps:

• Heat a grill for cooking over medium-high heat.
• Grill the sausages on all sides until nice grill marks appear, about 8 minutes total. Let cool until cool enough to handle, then cut each sausage into 2-inch slices.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• Roll out the crescent dough and cut each triangle in half. Sprinkle the widest edge of the triangle with a bit of jalapeño, about 2 teaspoons of cheese and the grilled sausage. Roll up and place on the prepared sheet tray. Repeat with the remaining dough, jalapeño, cheese and sausages.
• Brush the outsides of the kalaches with the melted butter and sprinkle with everything seasoning. Bake until the cheese is melted and the dough is golden brown, about 12 minutes. Serve with Creole honey mustard.
• Mix the poppy seeds, salt, sesame seeds, dried garlic and dried onion together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
• Mix the honey and mustard together until combined.

CREOLE SMOKED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Place the ground pork in a large mixing bowl, and add pressed garlic. To make things easier, mix remaining dry spices together in a separate container and mix thoroughly, then add to the bowl with the pork. The best way to mix this all together is with your hands, so wash up and get ready to make a mess! Just squish it all around and through your fingers until the meat has a uniform distribution of color, indicating that the spices are well mixed in. Now add the liquid smoke flavoring, mixing that in. Place the ball of sausage on some plastic wrap and wrap it up airtight and put it in the fridge overnight. The sausage will be spiced and ready to cook by the next morning.
