Andouille Sausage – Bold & Smoky

A Louisiana classic, our Andouille Sausage delivers a hearty, smoky flavor with just the right kick. Traditionally crafted from coarse-ground pork, it’s seasoned with garlic, onion, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, and a signature spice blend that brings out its bold Cajun character. Perfect for grilling, gumbo, jambalaya, or served with rice and beans.

Meat Ratio Options:

• Traditional: 100% pork

• Optional: 70% pork and 30% red meat for a richer profile

Seasoning Notes:

• No MSG or anticaking agents.

• If the seasoning cakes, just break it apart — quality is not affected.

Recommended Fat Content:

• 20–25% fat (pork fat preferred for authenticity).

Casings:

• 32–35 mm hog casings for traditional links.

• Larger casings (38–40 mm) can be used for a heartier, chunkier Andouille.

Additional Ingredients Needed (Customer Provided):

• 4 cups of a dry red wine or beer (both work well as binders).

Yield:

• Approximately 25 lbs.

Preparation Instructions:

1. Cube meat and mix thoroughly with seasoning.

2. Add wine or beer as a binder and incorporate into the mix.

3. Grind through a coarse plate (coarse grind is recommended for authentic Andouille).

4. Stuff into casings, then smoke low and slow until fully cooked and infused with flavor.

Please note: Flavor may vary slightly depending on the freshness of spices, supplier differences, and the fact that all blends are hand-mixed in small batches.
