CAJUN CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO
Some people think that New Orleans cuisine is Cajun cuisine. It isn't. It's Creole cuisine, where most sauces and gravies are prepared with tomato. To delight in true Cajun cuisine, one must travel west of New Orleans into Acadiana, where, in my opinion, the food is much better! Just be sure that you like spicy because most of it is highly seasoned. My mother taught me how to make Gumbo. I usually make enough to freeze in portions so that I'll always have some on hand. Potato salad is traditionally served as a side dish.....oh, and of course, some good, crusty, garlic french bread to sop up the juice. :)

Steps:
- Brown chicken thighs and sausage in a cast iron dutch oven. If you don't have a cast iron dutch oven, just be sure to use a heavy pot, such as a Magnalite or something similar. Remove from pot and let cool.
- Add oil to the pot. With wire whisk, blend in flour. Continue stirring constantly over medium to medium-high heat until flour is the color of chocolate syrup. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CONSTANTLY STIR THIS! If the roux burns, there's no fixing it. You'll have to start over, completely. This step will take a while to achieve the chocolate color and is the most time-consuming part of the recipe. Once the flour has browned to this point, quickly add onions, bell pepper, and celery. Cook until onions are transparent. Add enough water or chicken broth to fill the pot about half way. Simmer.
- Meanwhile, debone chicken. Add sausage to the pot.
- Add minced garlic, salt, and cayenne.
- Let simmer for about an hour. In the last 20 minutes, add deboned chicken. If needed, add enough water or broth to cover the chicken.
- With a large spoon, skim as much fat as possible from the top.
- Serve in a soup plate, over hot cooked rice.
- Sprinkle green onions, parsley, and file in the bowls.
- MMMMMMMMMM -- good stuff!

CAJUN CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO
This is a Cajun-style gumbo made with a seasoned roux, a classic from the bayous of south Louisiana. I revised the recipe after many, many trials. Serve it hot over cooked rice or with potato salad.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. When hot, whisk in flour. Continue whisking until the roux has cooked to the color of chocolate milk, 8 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the roux. If you see black specks in the mixture, start over.
- Stir onion, bell pepper, celery, and sausage into the roux; cook 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook another 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning; blend thoroughly. Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chicken, and simmer 1 hour more. Skim off any foam that floats to the top during the last hour.

Steps:
- In a large enameled cast iron Dutch oven or large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until well browned, about 8 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
- Season the chicken with the Essence and add in batches to the fat remaining in the pan. Cook over medium-high heat until well browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan, let cool, and then refrigerate until ready to use.
- Combine the remaining 1/2 cup oil and the flour in the same Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook, stirring slowly and constantly for 20 to 25 minutes, to make a dark brown roux, the color of chocolate.
- Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers and cook, stirring, until wilted, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the reserved sausage, salt, cayenne, and bay leaves, stir, and cook for 2 minutes. Stirring, slowly add the chicken stock, and cook, stirring, until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
- Add the reserved chicken to the pot and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, skimming off any fat that rises to the surface.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken thighs from the gumbo and place on a cutting board to cool slightly. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Pull the chicken meat from the bones and shred, discarding the bones and skin. Return the meat to the gumbo and stir in the green onions, parsley, and file powder.
- Spoon rice into the bottom of deep bowls or large cups and ladle the gumbo on top. Serve, passing hot sauce on the side.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch Published by William and Morrow, 1993.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the rice, water, butter, salt, and bay leaf and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let sit, covered and undisturbed, for 5 minutes.
- Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork. Discard the bay leaf and serve.

CAJUN-STYLE CHICKEN AND SMOKED SAUSAGE GUMBO
This might not be true Cajun but it is quite good! The best gumbo needs time to cook, so make this recipe when you have some time, it will take just over 3 hours to make, that is including boiling the chicken. Although it is pretty hard to improve on this gumbo, please don't omit the browning your sausage step firstly, it will bring out more flavor to the gumbo! if possible use andouille sausage for this if not any good-quality dry smoked sausage will do fine! The black beans are optional, I most always add them in! If you like extreme heat then add in cayenne or red pepper to taste. Don't let the amount of oil scare you, it will rise to the top when the gumbo is cooking and will be skimmed it off the top. Serve the gumbo over hot cooked rice.

Steps:
- Mix 1/4 cup of flour with the seasonings and toss the chicken in the mixture until well coated.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet and sauté the chicken over medium-high until browned. I usually do this in batches draining the cooked chicken on paper towels. If the flour in the pan starts to really burn and smoke, turn down the heat or, discard and start with fresh oil. However, I usually can get it all done with one batch.
- Once the chicken is done, combine 1 cup of flour and lard over medium-high heat to make a dark, dark, roux. Stir constantly while it cooks. It should look like burnt peanut butter, this is tricky because the darker the better. But if you go too far and scorch it, it's over.
- When the roux has reached the right color remove from heat and add the chopped vegetables. Stir to remove some heat from the roux.
- Return the roux to the stove over medium-high heat and add the stock, stirring until well blended.
- Bring this mixture to a boil, and add the chicken, sausage, and garlic. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.
- Taste and adjust salt, and cayenne pepper (although it's usually plenty hot, it's a personal preference).
- Serve over hot cooked rice.

- Place the chicken, onion and the spices in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then simmer until the chicken falls off the bone. (This should take 60-90 minutes.) When the chicken is done, remove the whole chicken from the broth and save the broth in the pot. You should have 8-10 cups of broth. When the chicken is cool enough to touch, pull all the meat off the bones in bite size pieces and return it to the pot.
- While the chicken is cooling, slice the sausage into 1/4" thick rounds and brown it in a large skillet over medium high heat. When it has browned on both sides, place the sausage and any drippings into the pot with the broth. (Searing the sausage prevents it from swelling when you cook it in the broth.) Continue to cook the sausage and the chicken in the broth over medium heat, stirring frequently so that the chicken doesn't sit on the bottom of the pot for too long and burn.
- While the meats start simmering in the broth, you are going to make a dry roux (a.k.a. browned flour). Place the flour in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Stir constantly as the flour begins to brown. When it is about the color of caramel, place it in the gumbo mixture. Test to make sure the soup is hot enough first, by dropping a teaspoon of the browned flour into the soup. You should hear a sizzling sound. If it sizzles, add the rest of the flour.
- Stir to combine the flour with the broth. It will turn a very dark brown, almost chocolate color. Add the parsley and then reduce the heat to a low simmer for about an hour. It will thicken as you cook it. When done, taste and add whatever seasoning is needed. Put the cooked rice in a wide bowl or on a plate and serve the gumbo on top of it. Serve potato salad on top or on the side if desired. Enjoy!
