Chicken Gumbo
This recipe has been in my binder for a while, but I have no idea where it came from. I wish I could give credit to the OP. This is a wonderful recipe. The hardest part is making the roux. Once you get through that, it's a piece of cake.
Roux:
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup flour
Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 lb smoked sausage, cut into slices and then halves
3 cloves garlic, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
Creole Seasoning to taste
6 Cups Chicken Broth
1 bay leaf
Chicken legs or thighs, boiled and deboned
1 box or bag of frozen okra
First step, chop up your onions, green pepper, garlic and celery
Next, heat the oil and flour over medium heat; stirring constantly (you are making the roux). Cook slowly until the roux looks like a copper penny.
Add onion, bell pepper, celery and sausage to the pot; cook for a few minutes.
Pour in chicken broth; add seasonings. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour; stirring occasionally. Add the chicken when almost done. Serve over rice.
Tip: for thicker gumbo use 1 cup flour and 1 cup of oil.
Yay! Can't wait to make my own Gumbo. I'm glad you posted this.
