Part 3/6:
With the sausage cooked, the next step is to utilize the remaining oil in the pan to create a rich sauce. Most of the oil is discarded, making way for buttery flavors as four tablespoons of unsalted butter are added to the skillet. Alongside the butter, diced onions and minced garlic are sautéed until fragrant, filling the kitchen with aromas that hint at the complex flavors to come.
Once the onions and garlic have softened, it’s time to introduce a blend of seasonings including Cajun crush seasoning, Old Bay, lemon pepper, and paprika. The addition of a cup of chicken broth not only dilutes the sauce but also keeps it on the healthier side. The mixture is allowed to simmer, letting the flavors meld while reducing the sauce to a delectable consistency.
