Hello everybody, hope you are having an incredible day today. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, gumbo. One of my favorites food recipes. This time, I am going to make it a bit tasty. This will be really delicious.
Gumbo is one of the most popular of recent trending meals on earth. It is appreciated by millions daily. It’s easy, it’s quick, it tastes yummy. They are fine and they look fantastic. Gumbo is something which I’ve loved my whole life.
Gumbo filled with shrimp, crab, chicken, sausage, vegetables, and Cajun spices. I've also included crab and/or scallops in this recipe. Serve over rice, accompanied with garlic bread.
To begin with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can cook gumbo using 15 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Gumbo:
- Prepare 4 chicken legs
- Take 1 very large kabanos sausage
- Make ready 3/4 bell pepper
- Make ready 2 small onions
- Take 1 1/2 sticks of celery
- Prepare 1 liter chicken stock
- Make ready 1 tsp salt
- Prepare 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Prepare 1 tsp garlic powder
- Take 1 tsp onion powder
- Make ready 1/4 tsp cayenne
- Take 1 tsp paprika
- Get 2 bay leaves
- Prepare 4 tbsp oil
- Take 4 tbsp flour
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until browned on both sides and remove. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add the butter to the Dutch oven.
Instructions to make Gumbo:
- Start with making a Roux (Ideally you would use a bacon fat Roux with this Gumbo, but it isn't essential)
- Cook the Roux while constantly stirring until it reaches somewhere between the colour of peanut butter and chocolate. The darker it is the richer the taste (can take up to 30mins).
- Than add the Holy trinity (onions, bell peppers, celery):
- (Ratio of the trinity is 2 parts onion, 1 part celery, 1 part bell pepper. For 1 litre of stock I use 3/4 of a bell pepper, 2 small onions and 1& 1/2 sticks of celery.)All finely chopped. Not chunky.
- Saute your aromatics with the roux. it'll cause a lot of steam and hissing when you first drop it in so make sure you turn the heat down and don't freak out.
- When the onions are translucent transfer the mix to a slow cooker and add about a litre of chicken stock and any spices you want.
- A good spice mix of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, paprika and a few bay leaves will be fine.
- While the Gumbo simmers, brown off some chicken and sausages in a pan. Ideally you would use andouille sausages but Polish kabanos or kielbasa sausage is a good substitute.
- Once the meat has been browned off add it to the gumbo.
- When the gumbo is nearly ready (3 to 4 hrs total cook time), add okra or Filé powder to help thicken the sauce. Only if needed.
- Traditionally serve with rice and a crusty bread roll, but I like mine with home made chips/fries and a pitta bread.
Once melted, sprinkle in the toasted flour, and stir until combined. This Authentic New Orleans Gumbo is made with a dark roux, vegetables, chicken, sausage, and shrimp, and served over rice. This is a beloved recipe shared with me by a native New Orleanian. As you probably have gathered, I love making comfort food style recipes that use lots of fresh produce and real ingredients. Gumbo is a true melting pot dish.
