fishlessman, all that is missing is a little crusty bread for slopping ......

fishlessman,
that's a nice dark roux, man. how easy was that?[p]by the way, for anyone wondering. he didn't mis-spell "scollops". 'scollops' is how we say it up here.

Beautiful dark roux, was that an oven roux?

Big'un,
2 cups peanut oil, 2 cups flour over an open burner, then onto a simmer plate when the celery, onions and green pepper went in. followed chef wils tutorial from a couple years back. copper tin lined pot works good for this. get the color of peanut butter, then add the veggies til soft and carmelly, then sausage for about 20 min and it gets real dark

fishlessman,
Looks great, and after that much work it should! I started doing oven rouxs a while back. It really cuts down on the stirring time and it's easy to jar it up for future use. Have you tried an oven roux?

tjv,[p]Noooooooo. Bread to sop Cajun Gumbo is not required. The rice does the trick. Bread will go on the side, heavy with melted butter and garlic.....[p]Protrude On

Big'un,
ive never tried a roux in the oven, all that oil in there seems scary to me. i do soups chilis and stews in the oven though, much easier than stove top. after making a few rouxs they get pretty easy, kitchens small enough that i can reach the beer fridge a couple times during the cook and ive got the stove positioned so that i can reach into to the kitchen to stir from the living room and watch the game.

Cajun, sorry man just can't help myself, I'm a dunker in addition to the rice. Something like, Irish roots meets cajun cooking...LOL. The bread is exactly as you described, dang I need a bowl. [p]The inlaws are from southeast texas, via southwest LA, so gumbo is a branch on their family tree. My mother-in-law is visiting for T-Day. Any luck she will make a pot. The big question is which pot, chicken/sausage or shrimp... No doubt gumbo is always better the next day....T

fishlessman,
that roux is an effing masterpiece. seriously.

tjv,
take some pics as she makes it, ive got nothing to base what gumbo is supposed to look like except for chef wils gumbo recipe/technique. never seen gumbo or tasted it other than the stuff ive butchered, newengland is not the gumbo capital of the world.

fishlessman,
My gumbos are not traditional by any means. I use any and all ingredients available. Just stick to the basics and then go crazy. [p]1. Make a good Brick or darker Roux
2. Use the holy trinity ( onions, celery,and bell pepper)
3. Cook with plenty of love.[p]The rest is up to you. I actually cook three pounds of frozen okra (cook it till it's no longer stringy) and put it into my gumbos. Check out link for a recipe. [p]Mike

Mike in Abita,
ive done the turkey gumbo a few times, even made pie with it once it really starts to thicken. someday need to try some seafood gumbo. this is the technique i used, what i like about it is that you can make gumbo alot of ways and with the ingreidiants you have on hand, maybe keeping some ingrediants traditional, or just taking off in new directions.

fishlessman,
Sounds like a good solid recipe. If you are having difficulties with the roux check out link. If you think you burnt the roux throw it out and start over. Nothing tastes as bad as a burnt roux.

tjv,[p]i understand. My wife is from South Texas (Aggie fer sure) and she doesn't want the rice, just a good load of french bread and she is on her way.[p]I just made a pot of gumbo last week (first cold spell) and it turned out great.[p]I usually will put everything in including parts of the kitchen sink. Turns out good.[p]Cajun
