Gumbo recipe!😋
Ingredients
•4 cartons of chicken broth

•2 green bell peppers
•1 bag Frozen okra

•1 pound of Andouille sausage
•1 pound of smoked sausage
•1.5 pound of boneless chicken thighs
•Seasonings of your liking
•Rice
Directions
•Pour all 4 cartons of chicken broth into a huge pot. Bring it to a boil & then add in your Roux. I normally do a little more than half a jar of Roux. **(Put your Roux into a small bowl with a little bit of water to help dissolve it more & then add it to your chicken broth.)** Let that boil for at least 30 minutes, make sure you’re stirring on a regular basis so the roux doesn’t burn.
•Once your Roux is boiling turn it down to medium heat. Add in all your veggies & meats. Let it cook on simmer for about 2-3 hours. Then serve over some rice or you can even have it with crackers!😋
Gumbo is a quintessential dish from Louisiana that reflects the rich culinary traditions of the Cajun and Creole cultures. Originating in the early 18th century, gumbo has become a staple comfort food, characterized by its unique flavors and ingredients. The base typically consists of okra or filé powder, providing a thick and hearty texture. In this recipe, we incorporate a variety of ingredients such as Andouille sausage, chicken thighs, and a blend of vegetables including bell peppers, onions, and celery, commonly known as the ‘Holy Trinity’ of Cajun cooking. The addition of Savoie’s Roux gives the gumbo its signature depth and rich taste. To enhance your gumbo experience, consider experimenting with different proteins, such as shrimp or crab, for a seafood twist. Remember, the key to a great gumbo lies in the simmering process—allowing the flavors to meld over time is crucial. Serve your gumbo over steamed rice for a deliciously satisfying meal that brings the taste of Louisiana to your table. Additionally, gumbo is often complemented with crusty bread or crackers, making it perfect for sharing at gatherings. It's a dish that brings people together, allowing you to explore the heart of Southern cuisine. Whether you're familiar with gumbo or trying it for the first time, this recipe will surely become a cherished addition to your cooking repertoire.
