Assemble the Po'boys
After flipping the sausage, top each half with a slice of provolone or pepper jack cheese and let it melt before assembling the sandwich.
Add a teaspoon of honey or brown sugar to the remoulade sauce and a few dashes of extra hot sauce for a spicy-sweet kick.
Top the sausage with a generous spoonful of slow-cooked caramelized onions for a rich, sweet flavor contrast.
Substitute the andouille with plant-based spicy sausage. Cook according to package directions before assembling.
Andouille sausage is a good source of protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, including muscle.
The French baguette provides carbohydrates, which are the body's primary source of energy to fuel your daily activities.
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that may help protect cells from damage and support heart health.
Each Sausage Po'boy contains approximately 850-950 calories, primarily from the sausage, bread, and mayonnaise-based remoulade sauce. Calorie count can vary based on the specific brands of ingredients used.
A traditional Sausage Po'boy is an indulgent meal and is high in calories, fat, and sodium. It's best enjoyed as an occasional treat. To make it slightly healthier, you could use a leaner turkey sausage, a whole wheat baguette, and a lighter, yogurt-based remoulade sauce.
Authentic New Orleans French bread is ideal. It's characterized by a very crisp, flaky crust and an incredibly soft, airy interior. If you can't find it, a light, crusty baguette is the next best choice. Avoid dense, chewy breads.
Yes, absolutely! The remoulade sauce actually tastes better when made ahead. You can prepare it up to 3 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The flavors will have more time to meld together.
The main difference is the bread. A po'boy is defined by its use of New Orleans-style French bread. While the fillings can vary (from fried seafood to roast beef), the specific bread is non-negotiable for an authentic po'boy.
While andouille is traditional for its smoky and spicy flavor, you can definitely substitute it. Good alternatives include Polish kielbasa, hot Italian sausage, or any other flavorful smoked sausage.
