Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

[Dustin Dorsey]

I cooked some gumbo this past weekend because the weather is finally getting cold.



I didn't manage to make my own andouille yet this year, but I picked up some Zummo's which is from Beaumont, Tx where I was born.


Gotta get that roux just right. I do 1 cup vegetable oil and 1 cup flour.


Stirring


Still stirring.


Good enough!


In the pot with some homeade chicken stock.


Bowl of gumbo served with some rice. Gotta have some saltine crackers, too.
I had a couple of links of boudin I got from my butcher that were pretty awesome that I didn't get pictures of. I make my own from time to time.

Nothing better than homemade gumbo. Great looking roux. Bet your arm was tired after that stirring. I saw a recipe last year that mentioned making the roux stir free in the oven. Have yet to try it out yet though.

Awesome looking gumbo Dustin and your roux is spot on.

Roux looks good and you can't beat Zummo's!

Perfect gumbo Dustin and that roux is spot on.

That is a fine looking roux and I'm drooling over that gumbo!

I've gotta start experimenting with gumbo - I'm not sure I've even tried it.

Have not made gumbo in quite a while, soon this must happen!

Man that gumbo is spot on. Just right for a cold winter night, great job.
