Yield Makes about 20 cups, serving 10 to 12 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds smoked pork sausage or pork and beef sausage such as kielbasa, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
8 chicken thighs
8 chicken drumsticks
two 10-ounce boxes frozen whole okra, rinsed to separate okra and cut into 1/4-inch- thick rounds
2 large onions, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
8 cups chicken broth
8 cups water
1 cup thinly sliced scallion greens (about 1 bunch)
Accompaniment: Cajun-style White Rice
bottled hot sauce such as Tabasco

Steps:

  • In a heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown sausage in batches, without crowding, transferring to paper towels to drain. Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Brown chicken in fat remaining in skillet in batches, without crowding, transferring to paper towels to drain.
  • Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon fat from skillet and cook okra over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden. Add onions and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until celery is softened.
  • In a 9 1/2-to-10 quart heavy kettle bring broth and water to a boil. Stir in okra mixture and chicken and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and gumbo is thickened, about 30 minutes. Add sausage, scallions, and salt and pepper to taste and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Gumbo may be made 3 days ahead, cooled completely, uncovered, and chilled, cover.

This gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I will use less cayenne pepper next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my gumbo turned out bland. I think I might have used too much water. Next time, I will use less water and see if that makes a difference.
