Authentic New Orleans Style Gumbo image

This Authentic New Orleans Gumbo is made with a dark roux, vegetables, chicken, sausage, and shrimp, and served over rice.

Provided by Lauren Allen

Categories     Main Course     Soup

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 heaping cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup oil ((vegetable or canola oil))
1 bunch celery (, diced, leaves and all)
1 green bell pepper (, diced)
1 large yellow onion (, diced)
1 bunch green onion (, finely chopped)
1 bunch fresh parsley leaves (, finely chopped)
2-3 cloves garlic
1-2 Tablespoons cajun seasoning (*)
6-8 cups Chicken broth (*)
12 ounce package andouille sausages (, sliced into 'coins' (substitute Polska Kielbasa if you can't find a good Andouille))
Meat from 1 Rotisserie Chicken*
2 cups Shrimps (, pre cooked)
cooked white rice (for serving)

Steps:

  • Make the Roux*: In a large, heavy bottom stock pot combine flour and oil. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring constantly for 30-45 minutes. This part takes patience--when it's finished it should be as dark as chocolate and have a soft, "cookie dough" like consistency. Be careful not to let it burn! Feel free to add a little more flour or oil as needed to reach this consistency.
  • Brown the sausage. In a separate skillet on medium-high heat place the sausage slices in one layer in the pan. Brown them well on one side (2-3 minutes) and then use a fork to flip each over onto the other side to brown. Remove to a plate.
  • Cook the vegetables in broth. Add 1/2 cup of the chicken broth to the hot skillet that had the sausage to deglaze the pan. Pour the broth and drippings into your large soup pot.
  • Add remaining 5 1/2 cups of chicken broth. Add veggies, parsley, and roux to the pot and stir well.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender. (Skim off any foam that may rise to the top of the pot.) Stir in cajun seasoning, to taste.
  • Add meat. Add chicken, sausage, and shrimp.
  • Taste and serve. At this point taste it and add more seasonings to your liking--salt, pepper, chicken bullion paste, garlic, more Joe's stuff or more chicken broth--until you reach the perfect flavor. Serve warm over rice. (Tastes even better the next day!)

CREOLE REDFISH GUMBO



Creole Redfish Gumbo image

Jordan Ruiz cooks a version of the seafood gumbo his mother and grandmother made when he was growing up in New Orleans' Gentilly neighborhood. It contains fin fish, which is rarely seen in restaurants in New Orleans, where seafood gumbos tend to contain shrimp and crab. Gumbo filé, made of dried and ground sassafras leaves, is used both as a thickening agent and for its flavor. Mr. Ruiz's gumbo can be found at the Munch Factory, the New Orleans restaurant he owns with his wife, Alexis.

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 cups vegetable or canola oil
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 large yellow or white onion, chopped
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup chopped garlic
3 quarts shrimp stock or seafood stock
1 pound small blue crabs, or substitute 1/2 pound fresh lump crab meat
1/4 cup gumbo filé powder
6 dried bay leaves
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh or dried thyme
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon ground cayenne, or to taste
2 pounds small or medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
1 1/2 pounds redfish, black drum or other medium-firm, white-flesh fish fillets (such as sea bass or haddock), skin removed, cut into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's)
2 cups freshly shucked oysters with their juices, or substitute 1 (16-ounce) container shucked oysters
1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
Cooked white rice, for serving
1/2 cup chopped scallions, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare the roux: In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high until it's just shy of smoking. Slowly shake the flour into the oil, whisking until smooth. Reduce the heat to medium and continue whisking until the roux is a deep dark brown, 20 to 30 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  • Using a wooden spoon, stir in the onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic. Cook another 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in the stock. Bring to a boil and add the crabs (if using whole blue crabs), gumbo filé, bay leaves, salt, thyme, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the flavors have melded, skimming off any foam or skin on the surface, about 1 hour.
  • Toss the shrimp and fish with the Creole seasoning and stir into gumbo, along with the oysters and crab meat (if using). Simmer until the shrimp and fish are cooked, about 10 minutes. Add the hot sauce. Taste and season with more salt and hot sauce if necessary. Divide among soup bowls and top with rice and scallions.

GOOD NEW ORLEANS CREOLE GUMBO



Good New Orleans Creole Gumbo image

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!

Time 3h40m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup bacon drippings
1 cup coarsely chopped celery
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 large green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound andouille sausage, sliced
3 quarts water
6 cubes beef bouillon
1 tablespoon white sugar
salt to taste
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste
½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning blend (such as Tony Chachere's®), or to taste
4 bay leaves
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato sauce
4 teaspoons file powder, divided
2 tablespoons bacon drippings
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen cut okra, thawed
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 pound lump crabmeat
3 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

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.

MRS. ELIE'S CREOLE GUMBO



Mrs. Elie's Creole Gumbo image

A native of New Orleans, Lolis Eric Elie, an American writer, journalist, filmmaker, and food historian, shares the authentic Creole gumbo recipe as it was made in his family. Adapted from Smithsonian Magazine, this gumbo is made with crabs, shrimp, and various types of sausage. Although no tomatoes are added, the dish has a lovely brown color, while the right consistency is acquired by using okra, file, and roux.

Categories     Stew

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

5 quarts water
1 dozen fresh crabs, raw, boiled or steamed
2 pounds medium to large shrimp, peeled and deveined (reserve the shells and heads to make seafood stock)
2 pounds smoked sausage, cut into 1 inch rounds (1 pound each of two different sausages is optimal)
3/4 pound Creole hot sausage (if available), cut into 1-inch rounds
2 pounds okra cut into rounds
1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons, vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large onions, coarsely chopped
6 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
5 stalks celery, chopped
1 bunch green onions, tops and bottoms, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 pound crab meat, picked and cleaned of shells and cartilage
2 tbsp Creole seasoning
4 bay leaves
4 tbsp filé powder
salt and pepper to taste
6 cups steamed white rice

Steps:

  • Clean the crabs by removing the lungs, heart, and glands so that only the parts of the shell containing meat, including legs, swimmers, and claws, remain. Refrigerate the meaty parts and transfer the discarded parts into a 6 or 8-quart stockpot to which you also add the shrimp heads, shells and 5 quarts of water, then bring to a boil and leave to simmer for 30 minutes. When done, remove from heat.
  • In a skillet cook the sausages in batches, turn them occasionally until they are slightly brown, and most of the fat has rendered. Before each new batch of sausage remove the excess fat from the skillet. Place the cooked sausage aside on a plate lined with a paper towel in order they drain. Once you finish with cooking of all the sausage, wipe all the excess oil from the skillet but do not remove any bits of sausage stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
  • Next, heat in the skillet 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat and add to it okra. Cook okra on medium heat for 45 minutes while frequently stirring until slightly brown and dried.
  • While the okra is cooking, to make the roux, heat ½ cup of vegetable oil in a 12-quart stockpot over medium heat. When hot, add to it ½ cup of flour slowly tablespoon by tablespoon while constantly stirring until all the flour has been added and the roux becomes medium brown, at about 10-15 minutes.
  • Add the onions to the roux while constantly stirring until they have softened, then add the garlic, celery, parsley, green onions and bell pepper.
  • Filter the seafood stock to a large stockpot, then add the browned sausage and bay leaves. Cook over medium-high heat until boiling, then reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking. Add to it the cooked okra, then cook for another 60 minutes. Proceed by adding the crab and shrimp that you've set aside and cook for 15 minutes more.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the Creole seasoning and file powder, then leave to rest for 15-20 minutes. As gumbo cools oil forms on top that needs to be skimmed off with a ladle or a large spoon and discarded.
  • Stir in the crab meat and then check the taste; if need be, add more salt and pepper. To serve, ladle gumbo over steamed rice.

CREOLE GUMBO WITH CORNBREAD



Creole gumbo with cornbread image

A classic gumbo is packed with flavour. You could reduce the meat in this dish by using sweet potato instead of chicken.

Provided by Shivi Ramoutar

Categories     Main course

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 29

4 tbsp olive oil, plus extra if needed
2 chicken breasts, skin removed and chopped into large chunks (or cubed sweet potato or sweetcorn)
200g/7oz smoked sausage, sliced (or chorizo)
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
1 green pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped (or red or yellow pepper)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1½ tbsp Cajun seasoning
2 thyme sprigs
1 heaped tbsp plain flour
500ml/18fl oz chicken stock
400g tin chopped tomatoes
175g/6oz okra, topped and tailed then sliced into 1cm/½in pieces (optional)
200g/7oz king prawns, head and tail left on, peeled and deveined (or mussels, clams or any shellfish, scrubbed and debearded)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp chopped red amaranth, to garnish
1 spring onion, finely chopped, to garnish
1 lime, cut into wedges, to serve
75g/2¾oz butter, melted, plus extra for greasing and frying
2 spring onions, finely chopped
198g tin sweetcorn, drained
½ red chilli, seeds removed and finely chopped
150g/5½oz quick-cook polenta
150g/5½oz plain flour, sifted
2 tsp baking powder
large pinch of salt
150ml/5fl oz soured cream
2 free-range eggs
100ml/3½fl oz full-fat milk

Steps:

  • To make the gumbo, heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and add the chicken and sausage. Brown on all sides, remove and set aside.
  • Heat a little more oil if needed in the pan and add the onion, celery and pepper. Fry for 5-10 minutes, stirring regularly until softened. Add the garlic, Cajun seasoning and thyme and stir continuously for about 20 seconds or so, until aromatic.
  • Return the chicken, sausage and any juices back to the pan. Add the flour and stir to coat all of the ingredients. Add the stock (you will only need half of it if you don't include the okra), tomatoes and okra, if using, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer with the lid on for 15-20 minutes until cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Add the prawns (do not add prawns now if you are freezing the gumbo, see tip) and cook for a few minutes until they are pink and just cooked.
  • To make the cornbread, preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6 and grease two 6-hole muffin tins or one 12-hole muffin tin with a little melted butter.
  • Heat about a tablespoon of the butter in a small frying pan. When it starts to foam, add the spring onions, sweetcorn and chilli and fry for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the sweetcorn is golden.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the polenta, flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, whisk the soured cream with the eggs, milk and remaining melted butter until smooth. Fold the dry polenta mixture into the soured cream mixture until you have a smooth batter and then stir in the sweetcorn mixture until evenly mixed. Divide the mixture between the holes in the muffin tins and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  • Garnish the gumbo with the amaranth and spring onions and serve with the lime wedges and muffins alongside. Store any leftover cornbread in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

SLOW COOKER GUMBO



Slow Cooker Gumbo image

A delicious crockpot gumbo that is easy to 'dump' and cook. With an optional roux base for a more authentic flavor this traditional Creole dish can now be a weeknight favorite.

Provided by Lauren Schmidt

Categories     Crockpot

Time 6h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons flour
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
3 celery stalks, diced
28 ounce can diced tomatoes (the big can)
1 ½ pounds chicken thighs, boneless skinless
1 package andouille sausage, sliced
1 pound raw shrimp (add at the end)
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 cups cooked rice for serving

Steps:

  • Optional: Make a roux using the optional butter and flour. On the stovetop add the butter to a skillet over medium heat. Once melted and starting to bubble add the flour to the butter. Whisk to combine and continue to whisk until the mixture becomes a dark brown color about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, set aside until you are ready to add the the crockpot.
  • Add the diced red bell pepper, onion, celery, diced tomatoes, chicken thighs, sliced andouille, cajun seasoning, salt, thyme, broth, minced garlic, and if you are using it the optional roux from step one. Do NOT add the shrimp yet.
  • Stir to combine and cook on LOW 6-7 hours or HIGH 3-4 hours.
  • During the last 15 minutes of cooking stir in the shrimp. I recommend leaving the shells on for maximum flavor but it isn't absolutely necessary. Once the shrimp is pink and no longer translucent the gumbo is ready to eat. Serve over a bed of rice.

  • Turn on the oven broiler (500 degrees). Core tomatoes and slice in half. Place tomatoes cut side down on a sheet pan and place under the broiler until the skins are black and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Place to the side to cool.
  • While tomatoes are roasting, season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large, heavy bottomed Dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat. (This is a big pot of stew – you need a big pot!) Place the chicken thighs in the hot oil and let the cook until browned, 3-4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook the other side. Remove the chicken from the pan and place it in a large bowl or plate to rest. The chicken will not be completely cooked. Add the sausage and cook until browned, then remove.
  • Add the onion, green pepper and celery to the pot and allow them to cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add diced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and okra to the pot. Pull the blackened skins off the tomatoes and throw them away. Pull the tomatoes apart with your hands or tongs as you add them to the pot.

  • Cook the bone on seasoned chicken thighs until done or use precooked chicken thighs. I used my Air-fryer and cooked for about 30 minutes at 360° F. You may substitute chicken breasts if desired. After the chicken thighs are done and cooled to the touch, remove the skin, and pull meat from the bones. Reserve to the side.
  • While the chicken is cooking Use a rice steamer and begin to steam rice according to rice steamer instructions. You will need at least 4 cups of cooked rice to serve 8 people.
  • Meanwhile, heat two tablespoons of oil in a large heavy bottom pot or Dutch Oven on medium heat, add the yellow onions, celery, green peppers, and minced garlic, cook until softened- about 7 minutes.
  • Next, using the large heavy bottom pot or Dutch Oven on medium heat and add the ½ cup of oil to heat. Once slightly heated add the flour and continuously stir. Stir the mixture until an amber color has been reached carefully as not to burn the Roux. This may take a little time.
