some of those gross me out. nossy Send a noteboard - 30/01/2015 09:48:55 PM

Poultry (we use chicken), pork (smoked sausage), seafood (shrimp), broth, roux, onions, file powder. Rice.

Our roux is simple, and blonde. I suspect this is because grandma had six kids. Ain't nobody got time for that.

I do not apologize. "Everyone's favorite gumbo is the one their mother makes."



View original postA roux is just flour, fat, and water. But obviously you add things as you like.


View original postIf you don't want to go through making the roux you can just use something like Tony Chachere's instant roux. Won't be as good, but it's a hell of a lot easier. Roux is easy to burn.

I don't know what you just linked is, but it's not a gumbo. Looks almost like an etouffee. - 29/01/2015 06:26:08 PM 816 Views

good lord. My grandmother's gumbo has... less than ten ingredients, counting salt and pepper. - 30/01/2015 09:23:27 PM 716 Views
The only things I'd demand would be onion, bell pepper, celery, okra, seafood, stock, and the roux. - 30/01/2015 09:38:19 PM 650 Views
