I have loved gumbo always, but this is my version and probably not the conventional way to do it, but it is damn easy and really tasty.

Steps

1

Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large pot. When oil is hot whisk flour in slowly.
2

Continue whisking until a roux is formed and becomes the color of light chocolate milk. This takes approx 8 mins. Any black flecks in it and you need to start over.
3

The roux is fairly thin right now. Don't worry, the next step thickens it right quick.
4

Stir onion, peppers, celery and sausage into the roux. Cook five minutes.
5

Add garlic, stir and cook another 5 minutes.
6

Add creole/Cajun seasoning mix thoroughly.
7

Pour in the chicken broth and give it a stir. Bring to a slow boil and reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 15 minutes. Stir often to avoid sticking to bottom of pan.
8

Add your ripped apart chicken, stir and cook another 15 minutes. Stir and now is when you can decide if you need a bit more garlic or to add salt. I find smoked salt is best.
9

Ladle on top of your cooked rice.

I love to experiment with dishes that I've had before and *Julie* them up. I've ruined my family for restaurants ;) I love that I get requests for recipes as gifts, to me that is a great compliment. I still consider myself am apprentice tho.
