The secret to a good gumbo is the roux
And not store bought out of a jar
First cut veggies. I vaporize 2 onions 2 bell peppers 2 jalapenos in a food processor
Put in a bowl and put in fridge to get cold
This is important
This is your fire extinguisher
You need a large skillet with tall sides and a metal spatula
Add flour to skillet and copious canola oil
About a 64oz of oil
Lots of oil
Turn on high heat
Stir with spatula and dont stop
Add more oil to keep everything loose and liquid
High heat dont stop stirring
When it gets as brown as a beer bottle
This can take 30min
Take your cold veggies and throw them in but be careful steam burning your hand
I have the scar
This prevents further heat damage to the roux
You get beer bottle brown and no more
Push roux aside to cool
Season tony cacheros garlic etc
Add chicken broth to your huge pot
Add 2 whole chickens and let them cook till they fall apart
Pick out bones skin etc
You end up with a huge pot of broth and chicken parts
Add sausage
Add roux
Finally let simmer
Add whatever else you like
I like pearl onions chopped green onion
Add shrimp if you like
Make white rice
