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

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.

CHICKEN, SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP GUMBO
I know, another gumbo recipe....This one is from 'Plantation Celebrations', the cookbook I received from the best swap partner ever, Luby, in the latest swap. The addition of the shrimp was my idea. I really liked this recipe because there weren't a lot of spicy spices in it...I like the spiciness but my husband does not. It was easy enough for me to add Tabasco to my own portion while at the table. I used smoked turkey sausage in this.

CAJUN CHICKEN SAUSAGE SHRIMP & CRAB GUMBO
I have been making gumbo since my early 20's and I have never measured any of the ingredients. I always just cook by sight but I did try to measure them for this posting. I like my gumbo slightly spicy so you may want to use less cajun spices and eliminate the pepper sauce.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling in the kitchen.
- Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pot: A heavy-bottomed pot is essential for making gumbo. This type of pot distributes heat evenly and prevents the gumbo from scorching.
- Brown the Chicken and Sausage: Browning the chicken and sausage adds a lot of flavor to the gumbo. Be sure to brown the meat in batches so that it doesn't crowd the pot and steam instead of brown.
- Use a Good-Quality Stock: The stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your gumbo. Use a homemade stock if you have it, or choose a good-quality store-bought stock.
- Don't Skimp on the Roux: The roux is what thickens and darkens the gumbo. Don't be afraid to take your time and cook the roux until it is a deep chocolate color. This will give your gumbo a rich, flavorful base.
- Add the Vegetables Gradually: Add the vegetables to the gumbo gradually, starting with the onions and celery. This will allow the vegetables to cook evenly and release their flavors.
- Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Add the shrimp to the gumbo just before serving.
