CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO



Chicken and Sausage Gumbo image

This recipe came to The Times in 1983 from Paul Prudhomme, the New Orleans chef who put Louisiana on the American culinary map. It is a hearty, rich Creole stew generously seasoned with black and white pepper, cayenne, paprika and filé powder, a spice made from the leaves of the sassafras tree. Filé powder is readily available in most grocery stores and online, and while it's not 100 percent necessary, it lends a distinctive, earthy quality to the dish. Mr. Prudhomme intended this to be made with chicken, but we've had excellent results using leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, too.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 chicken, 3 to 4 pounds, cut into serving pieces
Salt to taste if desired
1 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons finely ground white pepper
1 teaspoon powdered mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon file powder, optional
1 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 cups corn, peanut or vegetable oil
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup finely chopped celery
3/4 cup finely chopped green pepper
9 cups chicken broth
1 3/4 cups chopped or thinly sliced smoked sausage such as andouille or kielbasa
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh garlic
2 cups cooked rice

Steps:

  • Put chicken pieces in a bowl. Blend salt, peppers, mustard, cayenne pepper, paprika, granulated garlic and file powder. Rub four teaspoons of the mixture over the chicken. Set rest of spice mixture aside.
  • Put the flour in a bowl and add two teaspoons of the reserved spice mixture. Blend well.
  • Heat a 10-inch skillet and add the oil. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture to coat well, shaking off excess. Reserve the leftover flour.
  • When the oil is hot and almost smoking, add the chicken pieces skin side down. Cook about two minutes on one side until golden brown. Turn and cook about three minutes on the second side until nicely browned. Do this in batches so as to not crowd the pan. Drain thoroughly on paper towels.
  • Pour off all but one cup of fat from the skillet. Heat this oil over high heat until it is almost smoking and add the reserved seasoned flour. Stir rapidly and constantly with a wire whisk until the mixture is golden brown. Do not burn. This is a roux.
  • Add the chopped onion, celery and green pepper to the roux and stir to blend well. Remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, bring the broth to a boil in a large saucepan.
  • Add about half a cup of the roux mixture to the broth, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Continue adding the roux mixture, half a cup at a time, always stirring rapidly and constantly.
  • Add the smoked sausage and stir. Cook over high heat, stirring often from the bottom, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the chicken pieces, bay leaf and finely minced fresh garlic. Cook about 40 minutes, on medium-low, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove the chicken pieces. Cut the meat from the bones and discard the bones. Cut the chicken into cubes or shred it and add it back to the pot. Serve with white rice or potato salad (or both) spooned into the gumbo.

Time 4h15m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 22

7 chicken drumsticks, with skin
6 bone-in chicken breast halves, with skin
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning blend (such as Tony Chachere's®), or to taste
½ cup olive oil
½ cup dry white wine
¼ cup olive oil
4 cups chicken broth
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 large celery stalk, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup canola oil
10 cups boiling water, divided
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's), or to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 ½ pounds smoked sausage, cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
3 cups water
1 bunch green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Peel back the skin from the chicken drumsticks and breasts without removing the skin, and make several deep cuts in the chicken meat. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning into the cuts and onto the meat, then replace the skin. Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil and white wine together in a bowl. Place the chicken into a large bowl, pour the olive oil mixture over, stir to coat, and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, and discard the marinade. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet until the oil shimmers, and brown the chicken pieces over medium heat, working in batches if necessary, about 5 minutes per side. Place all the chicken pieces into a large soup pot, and pour the broth over the chicken. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the chicken until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • While the chicken is simmering, place the onion, green bell pepper, and celery into a skillet with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and cook and stir until the onions are transparent and the peppers have softened, about 8 minutes. Set the onion mixture aside.
  • Make a roux: mix flour and canola oil together in a nonstick pan, stirring the mixture together until smooth and lump-free. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon and scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent burning. After about 5 minutes of stirring, the roux will begin to turn a pale golden color, and gently bubble and foam. Stir the roux until it turns the color of milk chocolate and gives off a nutty fragrance, about 30 to 40 more minutes. Watch carefully because it's easy to burn the roux. Pull the pan from the hot burner, and stir until the roux cools and stops cooking, about 5 more minutes.
  • Stir the onion mixture and 1 cup of boiling water into the roux (be careful to avoid spattering), heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a simmer, and whisk until the roux and water combine and become thick, about 10 minutes. Pour the thickened roux into the pot with the chicken, stir together, and add 9 more cups of boiling water. Season the gumbo with 2 more teaspoons of Cajun seasoning, or to taste, and bring the soup to a rolling boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Sprinkle garlic powder and cayenne pepper over the smoked sausage, and brown in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Transfer the sausage into the soup, and simmer for 30 more minutes. Remove the chicken pieces, and take the chicken meat off the bones, discarding the skin and bones. Return the chicken meat to the soup. Simmer 15 more minutes, and skim off the layer of oil that has formed on top of the gumbo.
  • While the gumbo is simmering, bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Serve gumbo over hot, cooked rice with a generous sprinkling of chopped green onions over each serving.

CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO- OAMC DIRECTIONS INCLUDED



Chicken and Sausage Gumbo- OAMC Directions Included image

I really like gumbo. I'm not claiming that this is authentic, but it's very tasty, and no one that I serve it to goes away hungry. The heat level on this one is really determined by the spiciness of the sausage, but feel free to add more cayenne if you want to turn up the volume! Since I usually cook for two, I didn't make this very often until I discovered how well it reheats. Now, I keep a few bags of this on hand at all times for a quick weeknight dinner. If you want to make a double batch, I recommend using two dutch ovens, it wont all fit in one (I have a #28 Le Cruset which I think is 7 quarts, and two batches won't fit).

Time 3h

Yield 12 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2/3 cup canola oil
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup finely chopped onion, plus 2 cups roughly chopped
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
8 ounces tasso ham or andouille sausage, diced
1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 to 4 scallions, chopped
Cooked white rice, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the roux: Heat the canola oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until hot, about 5 minutes. Whisk in both flours and cook, whisking constantly, until the roux is dark brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand 10 minutes, then stir in the finely chopped onion.
  • Meanwhile, bring the broth and 20 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add the roughly chopped onion, the celery and bell pepper; cook over medium-high heat, 15 minutes. Stir in the roux in 3 batches; cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 30 minutes. Add the cayenne, garlic powder, 2 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir in the smoked sausage and tasso. Reduce the heat to low; simmer 1 hour.
  • Return the mixture to a boil. Add the chicken thighs and breasts and cook 30 minutes. Remove from the heat. Skim the fat off the surface, then stir in the scallions.
  • Serve over rice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the kitchen.
  • Brown the chicken and sausage: Browning the chicken and sausage adds flavor and depth to the gumbo. Be sure to brown them in batches so that they don't steam.
  • Use a good-quality stock: The stock is the foundation of the gumbo, so it's important to use a good-quality stock. You can use chicken stock, vegetable stock, or seafood stock.
  • Don't skimp on the vegetables: The vegetables add flavor, texture, and color to the gumbo. Be sure to use a variety of vegetables, such as onions, celery, bell peppers, and okra.
  • Cook the gumbo low and slow: Gumbo is a dish that benefits from being cooked low and slow. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season the gumbo to taste: Gumbo is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Be sure to taste the gumbo as you cook it and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Conclusion:

Chicken and sausage gumbo is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken and sausage. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made in about an hour. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful meal, give this chicken and sausage gumbo a try.
