SEAFOOD GUMBO
Gumbo is one dish that makes Louisiana cuisine so famous. We live across the state line in Texas and can't seem to get enough of this traditional gumbo recipe that features okra, shrimp, spicy seasonings and what is called the holy trinity-onions, green peppers and celery. This recipe calls for seafood, but you could also use chicken, duck or sausage. -Ruth Aubey, San Antonio, Texas

BIG CHARLIE'S GUMBO
This is a basic gumbo recipe with a lot of added flavor. You can omit the stew meat if you choose or add something in its place. I recommend you serve this recipe over rice, like many other gumbo recipes.

Steps:
- Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup of the oil and the sausage, and cook, stirring, until it has browned and much of the fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate with a slotted spoon; set aside.
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup oil, and heat. Add the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the onions, peppers, celery and 2 teaspoons salt, and cook, partially covered, lifting the lid to stir occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes (add a splash of water or broth if the mixture begins to stick to the bottom of the pot). Add the okra, garlic, thyme, bay leaves and crushed red peppers, and cook, stirring, until the okra begins to soften, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, tomatoes and reserved sausage, and bring to a high simmer. Adjust the heat to maintain a low simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, to heat through the soup and let the flavors meld, about 20 minutes. If you want the soup thinner, add a little more chicken broth or water. Stir in the vinegar, scallions and parsley, and add salt to taste.
- Let the soup cool to room temperature, then divide it among four 1-quart containers and freeze for up to 1 month.
- To reheat: Let the soup thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Bring it to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until heated through. Thin it with a little water if desired, and adjust the seasoning with salt. Serve with steamed white rice.

Add onions, celery, and bell pepper and cook, scraping back and forth occasionally, until onion is softened, about 8 minutes.
- Scrape roux mixture into cleaned 8-quart pot, then add shrimp stock and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, then add tasso, salt, and cayenne and simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Cut all chicken pieces in half except for the legs. Season to taste with garlic powder, seasoning salt and dust with 1/2 cup of flour.
- reserving remaining flour for making the roux. Heat butter and 1/4 cup lard in a large stock pot or dutch oven.
- Add chicken to the pot a few pieces at a time and cook until browned , about 10 minute each side.
- Remove from pan and set aside.
- Before starting the roux put your chicken stock into a pan and start to heat it up, you will want it warm to hot before putting it in the recipe.
- (The Roux).
- Add remaining lard to pan (see notes) and heat to smoking (about 5 minute or so), stirring with wire whisk constantly.
- to scrape up brown bits in the bottom of the pan. Carefully whisk in remaining flour and continue to cook and stir.
- over medium heat until mixture becomes brick red color in nature, about 20 minutes. Be careful to not let the mixture cook too fast or.
- let spatter on skin (southern napalm) as it is extremely hot and scorches easily.
- (The Hard Part is almost Over).
- Reduce heat to low, stir in onion, celery and green pepper, garlic, sausage, peppers, oregano, thyme, parsley and salt.
- Cook for 5 minutes or so until the veggies are soft but not brown.
- Gradually whisk in hot stock a few cups at a time until all the stock is in the pot.
- Return the chicken to the pan and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the mixture to medium or medium high and simmer covered for about 40 to 45 minutes.
- Add shrimp and simmer 5 minutes longer.
- Serve over hot cooked rice and if desired minced parsley and file powder.
- Put out a bottle of hot sauce for those who like a little more heat.
- Notes.
- 1) You can substitute any cooking oil for the lard in browning the chicken and in making the roux.
- Just remember in making the roux it is equal parts of flour to oil or lard.
- 2) You need to be patient in making the roux, if you burn it at all, just throw it away and begin again. I find if the roux is getting too hot remove the pan from the heat for a short period of time but always remember to keep stirring, that point can't be stressed enough.
- Creole cooks have been known to cook their roux for and hour or more depending on the consistency and the color of the roux that they wanted. For extra rich color and flavor cook and stir the roux
- over medium low heat for 45 minutes to an hour but keep stirring.
- 3) This is a big pot, lots of room , if you like more shrimp add more
- I have added split crab claws to the gumbo at the same time the shrimp is added.
- Enjoy and.
- Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez.
" BIG EASY " GUMBO
From January, 2011's issued of Southern Living. This is an easier version of the original because it uses pre-cooked chicken and canned broth. Don't forget...heat your oil good before adding the flour for a flavorful and fast roux. Good for OAMC, too.

- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Swirl in the flour and continually stir until the flour is incorporated, forming a roux. Constantly stir the roux for 20-30 minutes (or longer), ensuring nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot, or it may burn. The roux will darken to a peanut butter color to a light chocolate color. *See my NOTES above on making a roux.
- Add the onion, peppers, celery, garlic and okra. Stir the mixture often, about 5 minutes, until the okra is no longer slimy.
- Stir in the beer, seafood stock, Cajun seasonings, cayenne pepper, salt, thyme, bay leaves, Worcestershire and hot sauce.
- Bring the pot to a quick boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour. 1.5-2 hours will develop more flavor.
