![]() Mardi Gras might be over a month away. But I was craving some Gumbo... also I had most of the ingredients in my pantry already. Is Gumbo a soup? I mean maybe its debatable since its served over rice some might call it a sauce... One could very easily eat it without rice though and then it would for sure be a soup. I'm counting it as one. You can put many things in Gumbo.. I like andouille sausage, chicken and shrimp in mine and lots of okra. Recipe below: Ingredients:
1 cup olive oil 1 cup all purpose flour 1 sweet onion diced 1 bunch celery (about 6 stalks) diced 1 red pepper diced 3 Roma tomatoes diced 2 Tbs minced garlic 4 chicken thighs chopped 4 andouille sausages sliced into coin shape 3 cups frozen sliced okra 6 large cooked prawns peeled and deveined with tails removed diced. 1 Tbs Cajun seasoning 1 Tbs Smoked Paprika 1 Tbs Tarragon 3 Tbs better than bullion chicken 1 Tbs better than bullion vegetable 2 Tbs tomato paste 5 cups water Make the dark roux. Cook oil and flour until the color of a penny or chocolate milk. About 30 minutes on medium heat . Add the onion, celery and pepper (green is traditional but I like red better) cook till starting to soften Add the garlic and raw chicken stir in and let cook a few more minutes. Add in the sausage and okra, spices, tomato paste and better than bullion. Mix thoroughly. Add in the water. Cover and simmer a minimum of two hours. Stirring occasionally. A few minutes before serving add the cooked shrimp. Adjust seasonings to your liking. Serve with rice. Enjoy!
