This is a Cajun-style gumbo made with a seasoned roux, a classic from the bayous of south Louisiana. I revised the recipe after many, many trials. Serve it hot over cooked rice or with potato salad.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.

When hot, whisk in flour.

Continue whisking until the roux has cooked to the color of chocolate milk, 8 to 10 minutes.

Be careful not to burn the roux.

If you see black specks in the mixture, start over.

Stir onion, bell pepper, celery, and sausage into the roux; cook 5 minutes.

Stir in the garlic and cook another 5 minutes.

Season with salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning; blend thoroughly.

Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the chicken, and simmer 1 hour more.
