Smoked Gumbo with Pron (Pron HEAVY)

[Grafixgibbs]

This week is a fund raiser event at our office for Arts and Science Council. Our theme this year is Mardis Gras and usually we do a popular chili cookoff but this year we are doing Cajun/Creole food so My entry will be gumbo which I made this weekend. I smoked the Chicken and sausage for it and used the chicken bits to make a broth.

Here are the pictures of the process.

Not a bad looking gumbo. Smoking chicken and the andouille on the smoker is the only way to go. Adds a nice flavor. I also put the pot, in the smoker for a couple hours to get a little extra smoke flavor.

Peppers, celery and onions are sometimes called " The Holy Trinity"

When I broke down the chicken i added the smoked bones and other bits to the stock to add to the flavor. It simered for about 3 hours now its resting in the fridge to marry all the flavors together so its kickin on Thursday when I serve it at work.
