a simple chicken, andouille & oyster gumbo
my eight year old was wanting gumbo this weekend and with lump crabmeat being mid 20's per pound, we went with chicken, andouille & oyster instead.
the roux was 3/4 cup canola and 3/4 cup flour.... http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps657a157a.jpg one organic chicken cut up and floured and browned in bacon grease left over from breakfast..... http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/x...pse2f0779f.jpg http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps81c1497d.jpg removed the chicken and added six chopped celery stalks and 3 medium vidalia onions and cooked those down..... http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/x...psd5abc9bf.jpg http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps8e190ec8.jpg some andouille..... http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps36480e09.jpg http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps9207f2c4.jpg in a large pot, combined the roux, chicken, 3 quarts of chicken broth and 6 cups of water, andouille and the celery and onion and let that simmer uncovered for a couple hours and removed the chicken and deboned it and returned the chicken to the pot along with the juice from the oysters...... http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps415050aa.jpg added some salt and pepper and old bay seasoning to taste.... then added the oysters and let it cook another half hour or so. http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps0cf73579.jpg http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps351fa244.jpg |

Can you cook Gumbo on an electric stove top?

sure you can. |
I had Gumbo many a years ago when I visited Orange, TX. It was one of the most amazing things I ever ate. I have wanted to try making it for years, but was a bit intimidated making the roux. I might have to try and make some.
|
I'd stick my junk in that.

Great looking gumbo. The roux looks perfect.
By the way, I didn't see any okra. Did you use filé as a thickener? |
Quote:
i generally don't use okra in my gumbo. sometimes we use filé on a bowl by bowl basis, but our family has always made a thinner, more soup-like gumbo. |
Perfect job, Roux looked great............any left....:thumb:
|
Did you put any bell pepper in dat gumbo? Sure looks good.

Fantastic! Looks like you came by it from Family instead of a cookbook. :thumb:
|
Do love me some Gumbo. Any left?

Looks Great!!
I like the idea of adding the filé per bowl. Some of my friends and guests don't understand the gumbo thing and never thought about adding filé at the table...:doh: If Bluesman and cameraman don't not finish it all I'll have some too!:hungry: |

And stirred quite a bit |
