Gumbo

[Cliff H.]

As the weather is starting to change, I am getting in the mood for some gumbo.

I ran across this video and I have to say it looks very good. I plan on making this today of maybe this weekend.

The recipe and advice looks solid.

I used to watch Justin Wilson all the time I loved listening and watching him on the TV , and that was before I started cooking anything. Now J B's it!

I too used to watch Justin all the time.

Heres a file gumbo recipe & a okra recipe:

http://www.nolacuisine.com/2007/02/04/okra-gumbo/

Shrimp can be & should be used instead of chicken it the above okra recipe, Some restaurants use chicken instead of seafood due to cost.
Thats just NON UNION!

I'd go with Justin too, but I will say I was pleasantly surprised that skeeter, scooter, whatever his damn name was, actually took the time to make a chocolate roux. Most folks wouldn't... and thats the only way to get the color and flavor needed. IMHO.


Ooops... didn't see the links from JB... Id go with those!

I made it up last night. I had my 11 year old do all the hard work. Peel the shrimp. Stir the roux. She was hating it and I was loving it. She got tired of stirring and wanted to chop some stuff so I let her take the ends off of the okra.

The roux could have been darker but it was getting late. I added Tony's creole seasoning at the end and that brought it up to a more respectable level IMO.

Godd stuff.
