This is a traditional Cajun dish that combines the complexities of smoked sausage and the rich flavors that you get from roux.  This has been a family favorite of ours since I was a child and is a perfect meal to introduce anyone to wild game.  The beauty of this dish is in its simplicity and doesn\u2019t require much \u201ckitchen\u201d talent.  Admittedly, I used a store bought roux for this recipe but you are welcome to make your own.   The recipe calls for sliced sausage, if you were to put a julieanne slice on the sausage it would add extra visual appeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
