I learned to cook in Louisiana and I love to cook Cajun food. This chicken oyster gumbo is one of my favorites. – Paul Morris, Kelso, Washingon
Ingredients:
6 quarts water
1 chicken (5 pounds), cut up
2 large onions, quartered
4 celery ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces
6 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup canola oil
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 pound johnsonville® andouille sausage links, chopped
2 pounds sliced okra
2 pints shucked oysters
3 tablespoons gumbo file powder
hot cooked rice
Directions:
1. Place the first 11 ingredients in a stockpot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours.
2. Remove chicken and allow to cool. Strain broth, discarding vegetables; skim fat. Remove meat from bones; cut chicken into bite-size pieces and set aside. Discard bones.
3. In the same pan, cook and stir oil and flour over medium heat until caramel-colored, about 14 minutes (do not burn). Add finely chopped onion; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Gradually stir in broth. Bring to a boil.
4. Carefully stir in sausage and reserved chicken. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Stir in okra and oysters. Simmer, uncovered, 10-15 minutes longer or just until okra is tender. Stir in file powder. Serve with rice. Yield: 20 servings (1-1/4 cups each).
