Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Ingredients

    Begin by chopping the onion, bell pepper, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic and slice the okra. Cut the chicken thighs and Andouille sausage into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Make the Roux

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium heat. Once melted, add equal parts of flour (not listed in ingredients but needed for roux) and cook, stirring constantly for about 15-20 minutes until the roux turns a dark brown color.

  2. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic to the roux. Stir well and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 4

    Add the Proteins

    Add the chicken and sausage to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is browned on all sides.

  4. 5

    Add the Liquid and Spices

    Pour in the chicken broth and water. Add the Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, salt, black pepper, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.

  5. 6

    Simmer the Gumbo

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 7

    Add Okra

    After the gumbo has simmered, add the sliced okra. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.

  7. 8

    Serve the Gumbo

    Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve the gumbo over cooked rice and garnish with chopped green onions and parsley.
