Made a huge pot of sausage and chicken gumbo for my co-workers at the refinery tonite

[TuscaloosaQ]

Starting out with chicken thighs.. Bone in and boneless.. This makes the stock









I started with wAter.. Garlic.. Tonys creole seasoning...






I also had 1 quart of homegrown tomatoes.. And 1 can of rotel






Chicken was ready in about an hour and half







The stock is looking right







Starting the rue... I used oil and flower





Getting the color







Added celery... Onion... Bell pepper.... And scallions it looks like a mess.... But it want later










Got conecuh sausage to go with the chicken













I made another little batch of rue... Was not satisfied..










Yes i will not make it without okra... All i can say is dodge it if you don't like it







It's done







The guys and gals loved it... But i will confess i forgot the bay leaves... But i think i was the only one who knew...

Hey i agree.... So far i have fed 12 people to nite... And not one of them could eat just 1 bowl.... It turned out really good...

 

[cholloway]

You done good.
I always use okra in gumbo... don't care for the flavor of file’ powder.

 

[Okie Sawbones]

Where's the garlic?!!!

 

[mike-cleveland]

The South?!? Got to stay warm up here too, these temps are not gonna last. I would take a couple bowls all day long.

 

[TuscaloosaQ]

Where's the garlic?!!!

[BigBobBQ]

Always a hit when I make it in camp in Grand Isle. Also doesn't hurt to have unlimited access to gulf shrimp at $2.00 a pound.

 

[cheez59]

I could get foundered on a few bowls of that. We finally got some of the Conecuh sausage around here. Man that is some good stuff.

Looks Great. Not a fan of Okra but I will eat it up in a gumbo!
