Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Dice the onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Mince the garlic. Slice the okra. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and slice the Andouille sausage.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Make the Roux

    In a large heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Gradually add the flour, stirring constantly until the mixture turns a dark brown color, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Once the roux is ready, add the diced onion, bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 4

    Cook the Meats

    Add the chicken and Andouille sausage to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is browned.

  4. 5

    Add Liquids and Seasoning

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

  5. 6

    Simmer

    Bring the gumbo to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 7

    Final Adjustments

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Gumbo

    Ladle the gumbo into bowls, garnish with sliced green onions and chopped parsley, and serve hot over rice or with crusty bread.
