kbran Posted February 22, 2012 #51 Posted February 22, 2012 Can't believe all you southern boys are gonna let Lonna (A MICHATEXAN) hold a gun to my yankee head.....NOBODY HAS A GREAT GUMBO RECIPE !!!! Sorry Tom, Beth said she didn't have it written down and wrote it for Lonna while she was making it:confused24:. That's how you got stuck with Lonna's gun. She's the only one that has a copy.
RandyR Posted February 22, 2012 #52 Posted February 22, 2012 Ok, since kbran has hinted at how its done. Southern cooking doesn't use recipe's. Ya just add a little of this and that until it tastes right.

Taking it EZ Posted February 22, 2012 #54 Posted February 22, 2012 OK I have debated the posting of this recipe since the start of this thread. Be warned, If you do not like spicy cajun food, DO NOT TRY THIS!, It will not set your mouth on fire, but the blend of spices will let you know they are there. Hopefully you will enjoy this as much as we do CHICKEN SAUSAGE GUMBO Servings: 10 INGREDIENTS 1 10oz bottle Lea & Perrins Worchestershire sauce 1/2 tsp Red Pepper 1 tsp Black Pepper 1 Tbsp Salt 1 Tbsp Louisiana Hot Sauce 3 pounds boneless chicken (cubed) 2 pounds smoked sausage (sliced 1/2") 2 large onions chopped 2 bunches green onions chopped 1 Tbsp chopped garlic 2 tsp Tabasco Sauce 2 Tbsp cooking Oil 1/2 cup rouxe (Pronounced RU) 6 quarts water 1 Bottle chicken bouillon Granules (Wylers) 3.75oz 1/2 cup dry parsley flakes Zatarans Gumbo File' (Optional) First we make a rouxe Combine 1/2 cup all purpose flour (will not turn out if you use self rising) 1/2 cup cooking oil In a 8 to 10 inch heavy skillet, preferably black iron. Cook on low heat stirring constantly until the mixture is the color and consistency of a melted Hershey bar. anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. Be careful not to burn this.

In large stockpot add water, rouxe, garlic, bouillon, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper, black pepper, salt, Tabasco sauce, Louisiana hot sauce. Bring to a medium simmer. While this is cooking In Heavy pot brown sliced sausage in cooking oil till well done. Drain and return to pot. Add onions and cook till tender. Transfer sausage and onions to stock pot and continue to simmer for about an hour to allow flavors to blend. Add cubed chicken and continue to simmer till chicken is tender (about 45 minutes.)
