Cooking Instructions
Make the Roux
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the flour, stirring constantly until the mixture turns a dark brown color, about 20-25 minutes.
Add Garlic and Sausage
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced andouille sausage. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Combine Remaining Ingredients
Add the shredded smoked chicken, chicken broth, canned diced tomatoes (with juice), okra, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the Gumbo
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve
Remove the bay leaves. Serve the gumbo hot over cooked rice, garnished with chopped green onions.
