LOUISIANA CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO(THE REAL STUFF)
I have had several people ask me for an authentic chicken gumbo recipe. This is my attempt at a recipe. I didn't realize it until I sat down the try to type this, I don't know HOW I make gumbo!Gumbo isn't about recipes. I never saw my Maw Maw's recipe because she didn't have one. Gumbo is cooked with instinct and heart. Gumbo is a dish you are taught not something you can make by reading a recipe. My gumbo won't taste like yours and yours won't taste like mine, altough mine tastes pretty similar to Maw Maw's but that is probably because she taught me how to make it when I was about 8. If you have the ability to cook with pinches, dabs and shakes, if you can season, then taste, then season a little more until it tastes right to you, then you can make gumbo using this "recipe". If you can't, you might want to find someone to show you how.

Steps:
- Melt some butter in your heavy bottomed pot.
- Sprinkle your chicken with a lil bit of flour.
- Brown in the butter (about 5 minutes?) Remove.
- In the same pot, using equal parts butter and flour, make your roux.
- (see my recipe list, if you don't know how to do this, it is posted under gumbo base, aka roux) Once the roux has reached the dark chocolate stage, add the onion, bell pepper and celery.
- In Louisiana, this is known as the Holy Trinity, almost every cajun/creole dish begins with this.
- Add some salt, some pepper and a lot of garlic and saute all the veggies for a little while.
- It doesn't matter how long of a little while as long as you don't let it burn.
- Add chicken back into the pot.
- Start adding your water or broth slowly, stirring the whole time.
- You will know when you have enough by how thick or thin your gravy is.
- If you want thinner gravy, more stock, if you want thicker gravy, less stock.
- Season with more salt, more pepper and the cajun seasoning blend.
- Bring just to a boil and lower heat to a simmer.
- Add sausage.
- Allow to cook long enough for the chicken to began to fall of off the bones or until people are hovering over you trying to snitch spoonfuls of it behind your back.
- (about an hour and a half?) Serve over rice.

LOUISIANA CHICKEN GUMBO
I'm a coward when it comes to okra. Yes, I know it is used for its thickening qualities, but I just can't bring myself to use this vegetable.

Steps:
- Place chicken in large gumbo/stock pot, fill with water just to cover chicken well, boil til done. While chicken is cooking, cut up sausage into rounds, then cut rounds into quarters. Brown sausage in a skillet, drain on paper towels. Chop garlic, onions and celery and brown in the sausage grease. Remove chicken, cut up into small pieces. Dissolve bouillon in chicken broth. Add soup to broth, continue to simmer, add more water as needed. Add garlic, onions and celery to broth. If using okra, add now. Add seasonings to taste to broth. If desired, you can add diced tomatoes (like ro-tel). Add chopped chicken and sausage to mix. Continue to simmer, covered.
- Now to make the roux: This is like making gravy - use remaining sausage drippings, add oil and heat in skillet. Sprinkle flour into oil, stirring constantly, until all added and mixed well. You may have to add more flour to get the right consistency, should spread slowly back out into pan when stirring/scraping the mixture. Stir constantly, do not let it burn. Cook until it is the color of dark peanut butter. Remove from heat. Slowly scrape the roux mixture into the slowly boiling gumbo mixture, stirring as you add it, and scraping the bottom of the gumbo pot for roux that settled to the bottom. BE CAREFUL as it will steam up quite a bit. Stir constantly until all roux thoroughly dissolved into gumbo. Let simmer for 30 min to an hour, stirring occasionally.
- Serve over cooked white rice. I like Jasmine rice.

REAL CAJUN GUMBO (FROM A LOUISIANAIAN)
All the gumbos you find that have tomatoes or okra are not cajun. That is creole. These are two completely different cultures. Cajun is a simple, cheap, tasty, country, low swamp land culture. Creole, is a higher class, city folk, type of culture that requires more expensive and extensive ingredients. Do not use more andouille than the recipe calls for, or I promise you will regret it! Please do not season with hot sauce on your plate, it is rude. For cheap, tasty andouille, order from the original makers of cajun andouille at www.cajunsausage.com.

- Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the flour turns a deep golden color, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer the flour to a plate and let cool. (There will be a strong aroma similar to burnt toast. Be careful not to let the flour burn; reduce the heat if flour seems to be browning too quickly.) Alternately, toast the flour in a pie plate in a 400 degrees F oven for 20 minutes.
- Heat oil in a heavy stockpot over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic; sauté until the onions are lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in the toasted flour. Gradually stir in broth and bring to a simmer, stirring. Add tomatoes, okra, pepper, thyme, oregano, cayenne and bay leaf. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in rice and cook, covered, for 15 minutes longer.
- Add shrimp, chicken and sausage; simmer until the shrimp is opaque inside, the chicken is no longer pink and the rice is tender, about 5 minutes longer. Discard the bay leaf and season with salt. Ladle into bowls and serve with hot sauce.
