How To Make gumbo

  • Step 1
    Place chicken and onion , green pepper, half the green onions and parsley in large stew pot . cover well with water as this will boil for a while.Add about 1/4 jar Roux. Count the pieces of chicken , as the skin loosens remove the chicken skins from the broth. Do the same for the chicken bones as the meat releases from them . Count skins and bones as you take them out to be sure you get them all out.
  • Step 2
    While chicken is boiling and getting tender slice and fry the sausage to reduce the grease in it then add it to the chicken in the pot.
  • Step 3
    Add more Roux, Worchestshire Sauce and fresh lemon squeeze and basic seasonings salt pepper and garlic powder. depending on taste add the Tony's , Zatarains or whatever your favorite is. I go easy and have them on the side so each individual can kick it up the way they like it.
  • Step 4
    Serve over Rice with lots of fresh green onion garnish .
