Cajun Gumbo

I am a big fan of cajun, creole food. I love Jambalaya, I also like to batch cook and cook ahead and find that the rice would go mushy. So I researched this alternative and have made this authentic (I hope) Cajun Gumbo that is like a soup/stew and can be served with rice but also great for batch cooking etc. I am told the seceret to a great tasting gumbo is the dark brown roux made using flour and oil at the begining of cooking. I also serve mine alongside some nicely blackened corn on the cob. Add fresh parsley at the end if you like it, sadly I cant stand the smell. Enjoy
