Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. To start with the roux in a large pot, caldero or dutch oven heat the oil and whisk the flour constantly until it reaches a light sand color.
  2. Turn the heat down to just below medium whisking constantly until we get a rich dark brown color (like melted chocolate).
  3. Add all the TRINITY chopped celery, onion and pepper along with the the bay leaves and sauté for 5 minutes or until soft, mix and get all incorporated into the roux.
  4. Add the garlic and stir to combine.
  5. Stir in the sliced okra and cook until it looses it's stringiness texture.
  6. At this point add the sausage along with the meat or the shrimp and cook/sauté for 10 minutes.
  7. Add the parsley and the green onion and stir.
  8. Add the stock and the Cajun Seasoning, mix to combine all the ingredients and let it boil, then turn down to a lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes with the lid slightly off.
  9. After simmering for 30 minutes add salt & pepper and Tabasco sauce according your own personal taste and stir to combine.
  10. To serve Gumbo put a nice scoop of white rice and a good ladle full of the Gumbo on the side, just like in my photo :-)
  11. Have slices of fresh and delicious french bread or fresh baked cornbread and a bottle of Tabasco sauce on the table for people to season it as they wish. ENJOY !!!
