Chicken Andouille Gumbo

[Dustin Dorsey]

It finally cooled down for the first time this year and that means it's time for some gumbo. Sorry no grill in this one.


I got my trinity cut up here and some andouille sausage.


Made a stock the night before and reduced it.


Started the roux. Dunno why I use a spatula instead of a whisk. I just do.


Started to get a little darker.


A little more.


Roux is done. I got it about as dark as a copper penny. Sometimes I go darker. This picture didn't really do the color justice.


Transfer the roux to a stock pot and cooking the vegetables in it.


It all comes together.


Served over rice in a deep bowl.


Just the way I like it, on a cracker!

Just thought I'd share. I like cooking anything that takes lots of time and love. The stock took about 6 hrs and the roux was about 45 minutes of stirring.

Looks great! Gumbo is one thing I enjoy eating, but haven't gotten the courage to try making yet.

Scott, this is a pretty good recipe. It's pretty much where I started although I've since made a lot of tweaks after asking advice from family members etc. I generally don't go by one anymore but if you make this one you'll love it.

Sir, this is incredible. Gumbo seems to be such a "simply complicated" dish to nail. Looks like you knocked it out of the park. So much love can't be wrong! Looks delicious!
