White Girl Gumbo
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.

Cooking Instructions
- 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.

Gumbo Gumbo
My husband asked for Gumbo for his bday...one problem I've only made it a couple times and wasn't too impressed with the recipes. Sat down and started studying recipes and wrote my own for trial. It blew me away how well it turned out! His bday is the day after Thanksgiving so it will be made with turkey when it rolls around.Note I served jalapenos on the side instead of cooking in and served the Gumbo to my kids as is wasn't overly spicy.

Cajun Gumbo Cajun Gumbo
"Cajun" style – Gumbo, uses no tomatoes. However all gumbos starts with the basic “holy trinity” (onions, peppers, & celery), a good stock, and various meat, fowl, and shellfish. The key is to make a roux and add okra or filé powder as a thickening agent. Adjust the ingredients and seasonings to your liking and “Laissez les bon temps rouler” [Let the good times roll!]

Jimbo's Gumbo Jimbo's Gumbo
I've been making gumbo for years. I thought I got pretty good at it.. Until I was fortunate enough to go to Mardi Gras in NOLA last year. I found I didn't know what I was doing haha. I probably ate 12 different takes in the 4 days I was there. I promptly came back and adjusted my methods. Now I'd say it's serviceable, still not as good as in New Orleans, obviously.NOTE: the ingredients call for file powder, which can be hard to come by, but it does make a difference. You can use more of the Cajun spice blend if file powder isn't available. Also I used celery instead of okra which most recipes call for. I'm half yellowhammer but I can't stand okra hahaha
