I FINALLY found Andouille in a market up here (we are short on ethnic and gourmet foods with the exception of asian foods) and was thrilled. Will trade ya a gumbo recipe for my black bean soup? This one would be perfect for this time of year (made it last thanksgiving actually) and the sausage would be a nice swap for the ham.
