My Wild Kitchen - New Post - A Non-Cajun's Review of Jarred Roux

[Coachs Wife]

I'm about to start a controversial thread, I can tell, but this is my experience with store-bought roux. I apologize in advance for not being purist. And if anyone wants to come show me the ways of perfect roux every time from scratch I'd be a very eager student.

Shoot I started using Kary's long ago. I know plenty of cajuns that use it or Dougets as well. Taking an hour to cook flour is silly when you can buy it already cooked for a few dollars

100% agree. Use either one of these

I started a thread on the Campfire awhile back about pre made roux. Apparently there are many Cajuns that use it. Don't fret.

I'm pretty good at making roux, but I don't mind buying Kary's .

It looks great to me. I love gumbo, but I never tried to make it before.

I approve sista ; the only thing I would have done differently is brown the meat and cook down the onions, garlic, bell pepper until translucent. You're missing out on a lot of flavor by not doing this.

send me an email and I'll fwd you my gumbo recipe

I wondered about that too. But for my first go around I dumped the instructions on the jar. So, same pot, saute and then add water and roux? Or saute in a separate skillet? Or does it matter? I would worry about getting any clumps out if it were already mixed in the same pot...

I brown my chicken and veggies till translucent add chicken stock then add my roux. Sausage goes in about 20 min before its done. Add fresh green onions on top right at the end.
