Yield Makes 6 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups unsalted butter
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 red bell peppers, diced
2 green bell peppers, diced
2 medium yellow onions, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
5 quarts chicken stock, heated
2 tablespoons Creole Seasoning
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon thyme
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 pound andouille sausage, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 whole 4-pound chicken, roasted and deboned, cut into 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • 1. First you make a roux. Melt the butter in a 12-quart stockpot. Whisk in the flour and cook until foaming. Cook, stirring often, until dark mahogany, about 1 hour.
  • 2. Add the peppers, onion, and celery. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the chicken stock (make sure it's hot), and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer. Stir in Creole Seasoning, black pepper, crushed red pepper, chili powder, thyme, chopped garlic, bay leaves, and kosher salt. Cook, skimming fat as necessary, an additional 45 minutes.
  • 3. Add the andouille and chicken and cook for approximately 15 minutes. Taste, and adjust for seasoning.

This gumbo is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I really liked this gumbo. The shrimp and crab were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was flavorful.

This gumbo is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less cayenne pepper next time.

I added some chopped greens to this gumbo, and it was a great addition. The greens added a nice fresh flavor to the dish.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this gumbo without the shrimp and sausage. It was still delicious!

I'm not a huge fan of okra, but this gumbo changed my mind! The okra was cooked so well that it was tender and flavorful, and it really added to the dish.

This gumbo was a hit at my dinner party! The flavors were complex and delicious, and the shrimp and okra were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
