Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roux

    In a large heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the flour, stirring constantly. Cook the roux until it turns a rich brown color, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Once the roux is ready, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and celery (the 'holy trinity'). Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Meats and Broth

    Add the chicken thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces) and the sliced Andouille sausage to the pot. Stir well, then pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes, okra, bay leaves, and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low and let the gumbo simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The chicken should be tender, and the flavors will meld together.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Remove the bay leaves. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the gumbo over cooked white rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
