How To Make louisana gumbo
-
Step 1In a large stockpot, heat oil, add flour & cook over low heat. Stirring often, until "Roux" turns dark brown in color & develops a nutty aroma. I add a little more oil at this point to make the "Roux" a little more smooth.
-
Step 2Add onions, celery, green peppers and garlic; cook until veggies are tender.
-
Step 3Slowly add chicken broth, a little at a time, stirring each addition until all in. Stir in tomatoes & juice, this is when I break up the tomatoes a little, add okra, bay leaves, tabasco sauce & cajun seasoning . Bring to a boil.
-
Step 4add chicken, shrimp , sausage & cook 3 to 5 min. or until shrimp are done.
-
Step 5Serve over rice in a bowl & more Tabasco sauce if desired.
