Stir in flour, add 2 tablespoons water, and cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add scallions. Season with hot sauce and (if desired) additional salt to taste.

Holding disk in palm of your hand, place a heaping tablespoon of filling in center; lift edges to close dough around filling.

Bake until lightly browned, 10 to 20 minutes depending on type of dough used.

• Heat oil in the same skillet for 1 minute over medium heat. Crack egg into the skillet and let cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook for 2 minutes more. Place fried egg on top of the andouille and cover with the second slice of bread.

CAJUN CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO

Steps:

• Brown chicken thighs and sausage in a cast iron dutch oven. If you don't have a cast iron dutch oven, just be sure to use a heavy pot, such as a Magnalite or something similar. Remove from pot and let cool.
• Add oil to the pot. With wire whisk, blend in flour. Continue stirring constantly over medium to medium-high heat until flour is the color of chocolate syrup. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CONSTANTLY STIR THIS! If the roux burns, there's no fixing it. You'll have to start over, completely. This step will take a while to achieve the chocolate color and is the most time-consuming part of the recipe. Once the flour has browned to this point, quickly add onions, bell pepper, and celery. Cook until onions are transparent. Add enough water or chicken broth to fill the pot about half way. Simmer.
• Meanwhile, debone chicken. Add sausage to the pot.
• Add minced garlic, salt, and cayenne.
• Let simmer for about an hour. In the last 20 minutes, add deboned chicken. If needed, add enough water or broth to cover the chicken.
• With a large spoon, skim as much fat as possible from the top.
• Serve in a soup plate, over hot cooked rice.
• Sprinkle green onions, parsley, and file in the bowls.
• MMMMMMMMMM -- good stuff!
