Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

[bigwheel]

Hey OSD..looks good. Thanks for sharing. I make purty close to a version of this cept I like a few shrimps and okry in mine. Also tend to use boneless skinless thighs for the chicken ration. Think they got a bit more flavor than breastes. I also gave up on that trying to make roux bizness. A cajun tole me it take an elderly large bottomed cajun lady to know how to make a good roux. He tell me to just go buy a jar of Savoie brand. He say its mo betta than you can make for yourself. Now my most favorite Gumbo do not use roux. It based on a recipe which got swiped from a restaurant and uses File Gumbo and tomater sauce to tighten it up without a roux. I will have to post that one someday. Course all the cajuns be naggin that it aint authenic cuz it aint got a roux huh?

OSD,

For the 1 cup of chopped pepper what kind of pepper do you use?

Heres a link to there website if you want to try some. Got a jar of it in the cabinet but aint never used it yet. Have heard enough folks braggin on it nearly think it got to be purty good. Now I hate to confess sinful things but Tony Casheries makes a purty good instant roux powder which I would not rate as half bad neither. I have tried that one.
