Gumbo Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roux

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is dark brown, about 20-30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the roux. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Add Meats and Broth

    Stir in the Andouille sausage, chicken thighs, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Let the gumbo simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Add Shrimp

    In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

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