Gumbo

[ChuckO]

Gumbo with a slight twist. I hate okra and not a big fan of Polish sausage. So I replaced the Polish sausage with Italian sausage smoked on my mini - My 2nd Cast Iron cook, probably the last for 2014. I love my 1978 Kettle. I was able to maintain 450 degrees through out this cook

I ate 3 of these

My "kitchen" for tonight's cook

[Chuck Simon]

ChuckO, I say you nailed it!!! Looks great! I would eat that in a heartbeat! Nice job!

 

[JimK]

Looks fantastic. You're breaking in that new CI very well.

 

[Bob Correll]

Good looking gumbo Chuck!
Try breading and frying sliced okra then get back to me.

 

[Tim McCann]

Looks good Chuck! Never met anybody who didn't like polish sausage though?

 

[Bob H.]

Gumbo for breakfast? I'll try some of that.

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Great looking Gumbo Chuck. Sure made me hungry!

 

[Dustin Dorsey]

Try making it with andouille sausage if you can find it! Gumbo looks great!

I've been down with everything you've posted on the site...
Until that "I hate okra" part.
My world is shattered.

That's as exciting as it gets, LOL
Actually don't tell anyone, but it was a "spare the air" day. I was on the wrong side of the law using my kettle that day. But, I'm a wild and crazy guy

 

[Tony R]

Looks great my friend.

 

[ChadVKealey]

Great looking stew, but without okra, it ain't gumbo.

 

[Luke P]

Ive never had true gumbo. Id love a bowl of this! Looks delicious!

 

[Rich Dahl]

Looks good Chuck, okra ain't my favorite either so to avoid it I just don't make anything I call gumbo. Works for me

 

[Dustin Dorsey]

Usually gumbo stews so long the okra kind of disintegrates. I'll agree that the word "gumbo" comes from okra, but to me, the roux is more critical. Typically you just need one of 3 thickeners, roux, file, or okra. Or all three!!!
