Yes. And when you shred them, they do seem to vanish into the rice. But
remember, they're just simmered, I never let it get to a boil, so that keeps
them from breaking completely down. (Then again, maybe it's only 1-1.5
hours. I'm usually doing other stuff and perhaps don't pay that close
attention to the time.) The andouille cooks very quickly too, since it's
sliced into chunks.
