Savory chicken and sausage gumbo made with a flavorful roux for a rich and hearty Cajun dish bursting with vibrant spices.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 pound andouille or smoked sausage, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch Creole seasoning, or to taste
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, boned and shredded
Instructions:
  • Heat oil in a stockpot over medium heat until glossy, then gradually stir in flour until roux is velvety and reaches a chocolate milk hue, around 8 to 10 minutes. Ensure not to scorch the roux; if any black specks appear, consider starting anew for optimal flavor.
  • Combine the sausage, celery, bell pepper, and onion with the roux, cooking and stirring for 5 minutes. Then add the garlic and continue to cook and stir for another 5 minutes.
  • Season generously with salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning, ensuring thorough mixing. Incorporate chicken broth and introduce bay leaf. Bring to a vigorous boil over high heat, then lower to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 1 hour, occasionally stirring.
  • Add the chicken and let it simmer for an additional hour. Remember to remove any foam that appears on the surface.
