Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Roux

In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the flour and stir continuously for about 15-20 minutes until the mixture reaches a dark caramel color. Be careful not to burn it.

2

Cook the Vegetables

Add the diced onion, celery, and bell pepper (the 'holy trinity' of Cajun cooking) to the roux. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

3

Add the Meats

Stir in the sliced Andouille sausage and chicken thighs. Cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is browned.

4

Add Liquids and Seasonings

Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

5

Simmer the Gumbo

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The gumbo should thicken and the flavors meld.

6

Serve

Remove the bay leaves. Serve the gumbo hot over cooked white rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
