De bereidingswijze
Stap voor stap
- 1
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, combine the vegetable oil and all-purpose flour.
Tip van de kok: Using a heavy pot helps prevent the roux from burning.
- 2
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 25-35 minutes, until the roux turns a rich, dark chocolate brown color. This is the most crucial step, so do not rush it.
Ongeveer 35 min
Tip van de kok: The darker the roux, the deeper the flavor of your gumbo. Be careful not to burn it.
- 3
Add the chopped yellow onion, celery stalk, and green bell pepper to the roux.
- 4
Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened.
Ongeveer 10 min
Tip van de kok: The hot roux will quickly cook the vegetables.
- 5
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, starting with a small amount to create a smooth paste, then adding the rest. Continue whisking to prevent lumps.
Ongeveer 5 min
Tip van de kok: Adding cold broth to a hot roux can help prevent lumps.
- 7
Stir in the diced tomato, smoked sausage, boneless, skinless chicken thigh, okra (if using), bay leaf, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- 8
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 45 minutes, or up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
Tip van de kok: The longer the gumbo simmers, the deeper the flavors will become.
