Sausage and Seafood Gumbo instructions
- Prepare the onions, celery, bell pepper, and okra in a bowl..
- Add the spices into a small bowl..
- In a skillet, brown the sausage over high heat. If you bought fully cooked sausage, skip this step and go directly to making roux.
- Once the sausages are browned, remove them and place on a plate to cool. Don't worry if they're still raw inside..
- Deglaze the pan with a little stock and add it back to the main stock..
- Prepare the roux by adding the oil to a heavy stock pot over high heat..
- When the oil begins smoking sprinkle the flour and begin to whisk the mixture..
- Continue whisking. Do not walk away or your roux will burn. You are looking for a deep red brown color. Be very careful, splashing the roux will severely burn you..
- It's beginning to take color..
- Almost there..
- That's about good. Took roughly 10 minutes..
- Reduce heat to medium and add half of the vegetables, dumping away from you to prevent splashing..
- Stir and cook the veggies for 2 minutes..
- Add the remaining veggies, spices, and garlic. Cook another 2 minutes.
- Remove the roux from heat..
- Bring the stock to simmer in a large pot..
