COUCHE COUCHE WITH ANDOUILLE

Steps:

• In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add sausage, and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until browned and crispy. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon, and reserve pan drippings. Remove pan from heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining 1 tablespoon oil, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, 1 cup water, and milk. Heat pan drippings over medium high heat. Carefully pour cornmeal mixture into hot drippings. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until a crust begins to form on bottom of batter. Using a wooden spatula, quickly scrape crust, and stir into cornmeal mixture. If crust sticks, sprinkle mixture with a few tablespoons of water. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 12 to 15 minutes or until tender, scraping crust occasionally. Mixture will resemble crumbled cornbread. Serve with andouille sausage and cane syrup.

Steps:

• Combine the cornmeal, salt, baking powder, milk or water in a bowl and mix to blend. The mixture will be like damp sand.
• Heat the drippings in a cast-iron (preferably) medium-size or large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn meal mixture and allow a crust to form on the bottom, much like you would do to make cornbread.
• Reduce the heat to medium and cook, scraping the bottom of the pot with a metal spatula to stir and fold the crust, breaking up large lumps, until the mixture is golden brown and resembles crumbled cornbread, about 15 minutes.
• Serve hot, with cane syrup, or honey drizzled over the top. Maple syrup if you must - LOL!
