GOOD NEW ORLEANS CREOLE GUMBO
I am going to give you my gumbo recipe. I learned to cook from my mother and grandmother who were born and raised in New Orleans and really knew how to cook. Most of the time, you could not get them to write down their recipes because they used a 'pinch' of this and 'just enough of that' and 'two fingers of water,' and so on. This recipe is a combination of both of their recipes which I have added to over the years. Serve over hot cooked rice. The gumbo can be frozen or refrigerated and many people like it better the next day. Bon appetit!

Steps:
- Make a roux by whisking the flour and 3/4 cup bacon drippings together in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat to form a smooth mixture. Cook the roux, whisking constantly, until it turns a rich mahogany brown color. This can take 20 to 30 minutes; watch heat carefully and whisk constantly or roux will burn. Remove from heat; continue whisking until mixture stops cooking.
- Place the celery, onion, green bell pepper, and garlic into the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse until the vegetables are very finely chopped. Stir the vegetables into the roux, and mix in the sausage. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
- Bring the water and beef bouillon cubes to a boil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot. Stir until the bouillon cubes dissolve, and whisk the roux mixture into the boiling water. Reduce heat to a simmer, and mix in the sugar, salt, hot pepper sauce, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, thyme, stewed tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Simmer the soup over low heat for 1 hour; mix in 2 teaspoons of file gumbo powder at the 45-minute mark.
- Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in a skillet, and cook the okra with vinegar over medium heat for 15 minutes; remove okra with slotted spoon, and stir into the simmering gumbo. Mix in crabmeat, shrimp, and Worcestershire sauce, and simmer until flavors have blended, 45 more minutes. Just before serving, stir in 2 more teaspoons of file gumbo powder.

MOM'S CAJUN NEW ORLEANS STYLE CREOLE
This is my family's favorite get together dish. Very simple and turns out great. Can be made in advance then warmed up for get-togethers. Very convenient. Awesome with some warm french bread or rolls. My ultimate comfort food when I want to go home and sit around my moms kitchen table. Prep time includes chopping and baking chicken breasts. To save time you can also buy a chicken from the store and just shred it and use some canned chicken broth. Also good to take to friends who just had babies, etc.

Steps:
- Bake chicken breasts in oven at 350°F until done with whatever seasons you like. The Chef Tony's brand Creole seasoning with some garlic powder works well.
- When chicken is done, add water to it to make the broth. Let cool then shred chicken breasts; set aside.
- Fill bottom of pot with olive oil.
- Add onions, green bell peppers, and celery. Sauté until onions are done. You want to have a pretty even mixture of the three.
- Add flour for thickening.
- Add shredded chicken and "broth", tomatoes (juice too), seasonings and any optional ingredients.
- Simmer for about 30 minutes until all the flavors mesh. You want it to be like a thick stew--if it's too thick add some hot water and if it's too runny add some more tomatoes or some roux (1 stick of butter and 1/2 cup flour melted).
- Serve over warm white rice and if you have it some warm French bread or rolls.
- Sometimes it's too thick if you reheat it--it's completely normal--just add some hot water or tomatoes.

25 EASY CAJUN RECIPES FOR A TASTE OF LOUISIANA - INSANELY GOOD
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
4.5/5 (11)Published Mar 12, 2021Category Recipe Roundup
- Authentic New Orleans Gumbo. I’m pretty sure we stepped off the plane and made a beeline for the nearest restaurant on our first trip to New Orleans.
- Cajun Chicken Pasta. We’ve all seen Cajun seasoning before, and maybe you’re wondering what that actually means. Cajun seasoning is a blend of paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, some herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Red Beans and Rice. Red beans and rice is known in New Orleans as Monday night dinner. That’s the night they eat this dish and do laundry. But don’t worry, you can eat it whenever you like!
- Cajun Shrimp and Grits. If you’ve ever had grits and decided you hate them, you must not have had the right kind. I promise; follow this recipe, and you’ll be wondering how you went so long without them.
- Jambalaya. Jambalaya is a beautiful rice dish based on Spanish, French, and certain African cuisines. In fact, they’re so close; I once started to make paella and ended up with jambalaya.
- Smothered Chicken. This recipe gets its name from the fact that the chicken is absolutely smothered in creamy gravy. Every bite is better than the last, and this one-pot meal is worth every calorie.
- Louisiana Deviled Crab Cakes. One bite of these, and you’ll throw out your old recipe. Crabmeat has terrific texture and not a lot of flavor, but in this recipe, it gets elevated by some fantastic additions.
- Smothered Cabbage and Potatoes. If you’re on the lookout for a cheap, filling, delicious side dish, this one’s for you! Cabbage and potatoes are about as economical as they come, and better yet, they’re hearty, warm, and super easy to season.
- Cajun-Style Fried Deviled Eggs. You’ve had good deviled eggs, and you’ve had bland deviled eggs, but I bet you’ve never had crunchy, fried deviled eggs.
- Spicy Cajun Dipping Sauce. If you’re anything like me, you have a fridge door full of condiments. I just love having a variety of sauces on hand to make a fast dinner even better.
