    Default Gumbo


    I'm giving the smoker/grill a break this weekend. Decided to make a gumbo. Chicken and sausage this time around. Slice and dice the veggies, love the sweet bell peppers in there. Got to have lots of veggies for the flavor:

    Boil the chicken thighs. Pull the meat off and put the bones back into the pot to make your chicken stock:

    The green onion sausage will work nicely in there:

    Simmering nicely with a dark roux, will be better after a few hours:

    Will be dropping a few hard boiled eggs in there shortly to simmer as well. This will work for us this week. Not bad for a fella from West Texas. Time for me to stop fooling around and get busy. Thought I'd share.

    Should I bring my own bowl, or will you furnish one? Looks scrumptious.

    Looks like you are well on your way to becoming a Cajun, from the looks of that!

    Why do you pull the meat off and then throw the bones back in the water to make your stock? I always use the water that I boiled them in for my stock. Just curious. Looks good though!

    Really don't know why Dwayne. The best gumbo I ever had was the way they did it, so I replicated the process. I guess that step isn't necessary then?

    Looks good. When is supper? LOL. I always make a seafood, chicken, and sausage gumbo for Christmas dinner for our family. Most of us are tired of turkey and dressing by then. I will, still, smoke a turkey for the one or two who don't eat gumbo.

    My son in law's mother does the same thing every Christmas Paster, a tradition for them. Apparently lots of folks do that around here. I get a half of a ribeye rack (the good end) from my favorite butcher and smoke it for Christmas. Have done that for probably 20+ years. Ann coats it with a mustard based peppercorn glaze using the red, yellow, and black peppercorns. It's serious.

    I love gumbo of most any kind, but I declare before the world that I NEVER get tired of Sylvia's chicken dressing! There is no such thing as too much.
