Tips
- Cook the sauce on low and allow to thicken (should take about 5 minutes on a very low simmer, time will vary depending on the amount of sauce being made).
- The andouille sausage should produce enough oil for the recipe, add a little butter when sautéing the vegetables if the pan dries up!
- Taste seasoning and adjust salt or cayenne to your preference.
