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.

SOUTH LOUISIANA CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO (NO OKRA!)



South Louisiana Chicken and Sausage Gumbo (No Okra!) image

Growing up in Louisiana, My momma called her version of this the poor mans gumbo. I have taken the liberty to make a few changes, such as using boneless-skinless chicken breasts instead of the whole chicken. Be careful with the Roux, if it burns you best start all over. It will get smoky in the kitchen, so be sure to open a few windows. This recipe takes some time but it is well worth it. If you have any left overs, this is something that is better the second day. Freezes well too.

GUMBO - SHRIMP, TASSO HAM, ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE, CHICKEN, FILE'



Gumbo - Shrimp, Tasso Ham, Andouille Sausage, Chicken, File' image

After many experiments with Gumbo, guidance 15 years ago from a friend's Cajun Father and bravery to get the roux dark enough, I can finally say I have conquered it to my family and friend's taste. It is a labor of love! When I made this for book club (where we eat as much as we read) it had rave reviews as the best gumbo they had ever had. I have to humbly admit, I felt the same way. Of course, this is best made a few days ahead and allowed to rest. I made this on a Sunday (It took all danged day!) and served on Wednesday. This makes a big batch. I used a a 7 1/4 quart Le Creuset dutch oven. I ordered the Tasso and Andouille Sausage directly from http://www.dartagnan.com/ since it is not readily available in my area (Also, they are salty and spicy enough for us, so I did not need to add any additional heat). I provided Louisiana Hot Sauce and Tabasco on the side. One may be tempted to add tomatoes, but they are not necessary and even a distraction for this dish.

Time P3DT1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 lbs andouille sausages (cut bite sized)
2 1/2 lbs tasso (cut bite sized, Tasso is different from regular ham)
2 lbs chicken thighs (boneless, skinless, cut in quarters)
2 lbs shrimp, large (peeled and deveined)
12 cups chicken stock (homemade if you have it, use an old rotisserie chicken carcass)
2 cups celery (chopped)
4 cups onions (chopped)
2 cups bell peppers (chopped)
2 tablespoons fresh garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (removed from stem)
3 bay leaves (whole)
2 cups vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
vegetable oil, as needed for browning meats
file powder
Italian parsley, fresh, chopped

Steps:

  • Separately, chop / prepare all ingredients necessary as defined above and set aside.
  • Heat a large heavy pot (cast iron / enameled cast iron) on medium high until pre-heated. Add some oil and saute each meat separately and in batches to brown nicely. (A pain, but worth it, I promise). Start with Andouille, then Tasso, and chicken. Some of the meat will stick and that is perfect. It imparts a rich flavor that is important to your gumbo. After browning, set aside.
  • ROUX: This is a critical step that requires constant tending. The goal is to cook this flour until it is somewhere between brown and black without burning it.Go for the color of a Hershey's kiss or darker. It is required to make the gumbo you want to make and well worth it. This takes me 45 minutes to an hour to get the right color. Each time I make gumbo I try to get it darker and darker. Don't be afraid to turn the heat up and down even if it take you longer. Better to take longer than to burn it. If you have black flecks, you have burned it and must start over. (You can do it perfectly though!).
  • Add 2 cups oil and 2 cups flour to the.
  • Pour the 2 cups oil and 2 cups flour into your pot. Stir slowly, consistently until it is brown / black. (It will happen. Just keep going.).
  • When the roux has reached the desired color, add the chopped celery, onion and peppers and stir constantly for 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to burn. Cast irons hold heat well, so feel free to lower your temperature and just cook longer).
  • Add chicken stock one ladle / cup at a time, stirring in between each addition to keep temperature and to make sure your roux doesn't break).
  • Add all meats and drippings (except shrimp) and reduce to simmering uncovered for three hours stirring delicately and occasionally. Add shrimp and cook for 15 minutes more.
  • Taste a little to adjust seasonings to your preference and then refrigerate in pot for three - four days.
  • Reheat when ready to serve. Serve over rice topped with fresh parsley. Allow each diner to sprinkle their own file' for thickening and flavor.

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1 pound chicken breast tenders, diced
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced or, double amount of white meat
Salt and pepper
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 1/2 pounds andouille sausage, casings removed and diced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ribs celery from the heart of the stalk, chopped
2 green bell peppers, seeded and diced
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
2 bay leaves, fresh or dried
2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup hot cayenne pepper sauce (for mild to moderate heat)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart chicken stock or broth
3 cups chopped okra, fresh or defrosted frozen
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes, in puree
3 tablespoons fresh chopped thyme leaves, several sprigs
8 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
2 1/2 cups white enriched rice prepared to package directions

Steps:

  • Preheat a large heavy bottomed pot over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil, 1 turn of the pan, and 1 pound of the diced chicken. Season with salt and pepper and a sprinkle of poultry seasoning. Brown on all sides, about 2 or 3 minutes. Chop your veggies while it's working. Add half the andouille to the pan and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer chicken and sausage to a dish and repeat with remaining chicken and sausage, remembering to season the diced chicken as you go. Return pan to heat and add butter. When the butter melts, add chopped celery, peppers, onion and bay. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Cook 3 to 5 minutes to begin to soften veggies. Add flour and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly stir in the broth and bring liquid up to a boil. Add okra, chicken and sausage to the boiling broth, then stir in your tomatoes and half of your fresh thyme. Bring back up to a bubble, reduce to simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes to combine flavors and adjust your seasonings. Serve gumbo with chopped thyme and scallions to garnish. Scoop cooked white rice into the center of bowlfuls of gumbo using an ice cream scoop. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful base: The base of your gumbo is what will give it its rich, distinctive flavor. Use a flavorful stock, such as chicken stock or vegetable stock, and add plenty of aromatics, such as onions, celery, and bell peppers. You can also add some spices, such as garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper, to taste.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: The chicken is the main ingredient in gumbo, so it's important to make sure it's cooked through. Cook the chicken until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to gumbo. Add a variety of vegetables, such as okra, bell peppers, celery, and onions.
  • Use a good roux: A roux is a mixture of flour and fat that is used to thicken gumbo. A good roux is essential for a smooth, flavorful gumbo. To make a roux, whisk together equal parts flour and fat in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the roux, stirring constantly, until it reaches the desired color. A light roux will be pale in color, while a dark roux will be dark brown.
  • Simmer the gumbo for a long time: Gumbo is a dish that benefits from long, slow cooking. Simmer the gumbo for at least 1 hour, or longer if possible. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.

Conclusion:

Gumbo is a delicious, versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables, and it's also a perfect dish for a party or potluck. With a little planning and effort, you can make a gumbo that will impress your friends and family.
