This Real New Orleans Gumbo is made with a dim roux, vegetables, chicken, frankfurter, and shrimp, and served over rice. This is a dearest formula imparted to me by a local New Orleanian.

As you most likely have assembled, I love making solace nourishment style plans that utilization loads of new produce and genuine fixings. This gumbo is no exemption, and on the off chance that you like this, at that point I realize you'll adore Jambalaya and Moment Pot Red Beans and Rice.

We had a great time neighbor growing up who was from New Orleans and made a phenomenal custom made Gumbo! I'm so appreciative my Mother took him up on his proposal to show her how to make a valid, bona fide Gumbo! Decades later it is a cherished formula that has gotten a staple in our family and we have made it many occasions! It is certainly in my top most loved dinners ever! Nothing tastes better on a virus winter day.


GUMBO Versus JAMBALAYA:

Jambalaya is basically a rice dish (think paella) while gumbo is to a greater extent a stew that is thickened with a roux and made with chicken, frankfurter, as well as fish. Both gumbo and jambalaya are regularly made with some comparable meats and vegetables however the way toward making them and kinds of the final product are totally extraordinary. Here is my preferred Jambalaya formula!

THE Way in TO THIS Formula IS THE ROUX!

A "roux" is made with two fixings; flour and oil, and it's the way in to any extraordinary gumbo formula! The flour and oil are cooked and blended together for around 30-45 minutes until it becomes dull earthy colored practically like mud, or chocolate and the consistency of mixture. The roux is the thing that includes the profound, rich flavor to the gumbo, and it gives it's thick surface. Make a decent roux is a work of affection, however yet one that thoroughly pays off, and you can make it early!

Bit by bit Real GUMBO:

1. Make the roux. in a huge pot, consolidate flour and oil and cook, blending continually on medium low warmth. You must be mindful so as to mix it continually, on medium low warmth, with the goal that you don't consume it. It's simple, yet takes persistence. The darker the roux, the more extravagant the flavor!

2. Cleave the veggies. At the point when you're prepared to make your gumbo, start by hacking celery, onions, ringer pepper, parsley. I love the newness from the green ringer pepper, onion, celery and parsley. You can likewise include okra, in the event that you need. Include it simultaneously as different vegetables.

3. Earthy colored the wiener. Spread the wiener in a solitary layer on a hot, enormous skillet. When sautéed, flip every one over independently, to ensure they all get overall quite earthy colored on the two sides.
