Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roux

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the roux over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns a dark brown color, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Meats

    Stir in the sliced sausage and chicken. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the okra, shrimp, crab meat, fish, chicken broth, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Gumbo

    Reduce heat to low and let the gumbo simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove bay leaves before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot over rice or with crusty bread.
