Seafood, Chicken, and Andouille Sausage Gumbo | I Heart Recipes
Hey friends! I am going to show you how to make Seafood, Chicken, and Andouille Sausage Gumbo:
My mom’s parents came from Baton Rouge, so with that being said, we love us some Gumbo! Keep in mind that I said southern style gumbo! I’m talking Seafood, Chicken, and Andouille Sausage Gumbo! Not the gumbo with just chicken and okra, or just sausage and rice. REAL GUMBO!!! Our gumbo consists of shrimp, crab, chicken, sausage, okra, and more. We usually serve it with rice, and cornbread- but of course during the holidays we serve a bowl of our gumbo with everything else such as: super cheesy southern baked macaroni and cheese, southern style green beans, potato salad, and a ton of other things (somehow people manage to eat it all too!). This recipe is hearty and flavorful - a perfect comforting stew.

How to make authentic Louisiana Gumbo
Gumbo, original recipe published February 21, 2011
#gumbo #louisianagumbo #gumborecipe
My goal is to share recipes from Back in the Day!
Remember! Mardi Gras is Tuesday, February 13, 2024. Learn to make authentic Louisiana Gumbo. Gumbo is really neither a stew nor soup. It originated in South Louisiana during the 18th century. It is made from a strongly-flavored stock, meat, or shellfish, a thickener, includes what folks from Louisiana like to call the Holy Trinity celery, bell peppers, and onions; is thickened with okra, and filé powder (dried and ground sassafras leaves). Gumbo starts with a dark roux, made of flour and fat, and there are several varieties of gumbo; sausage and chicken, duck, shrimp, oyster, you name it someone has made a gumbo with it.
Below is the Cooking with Denay original recipe for Chicken and Smoked Sausage Gumbo
Note: The cast iron pot I used for this recipe was passed down several generations and will one day go to my daughter who will become a Gumbo Queen in her own right. If you want to purchase a great Gumbo Pot see the link below. The one thing I love about it is there are heatproof handles that you can also purchase. My Gumbo pot handles get hot as heck, so oven mitts are needed. You may want to start your own Gumbo Pot tradition.
Below is the link for the Lodge L8DOL3 Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Dual Handles, Pre-Seasoned, 5-Quart
Tip:
**When purchasing Gumbo File, which is ground sassafras leaves, check the ingredient label carefully since some companies will cut the ground sassafras leaves with ground thyme, which gives the Gumbo File a bitter taste.
**If you select to use tomatoes in your Gumbo, *which is not in our recipe, remember, tomatoes have citric acid which is slightly less acidic than vinegar and may sour the taste of the Gumbo over time.
**If you want more flavorful stock, make it from scratch if you do not want to use store-bought chicken stock; and you can use chicken thighs and legs (dark meat) which is also more flavorful. I use chicken breast to reduce the calories, but that is a personal preference.

Note: If you have a bit of fear about making the roux, you can purchase it from a company in Opelousas, LA. The product is called Savoies Real Cajun Old Fashioned Dark Roux and has been around for more than 60 years.
