Zubereitung von Good Ole Gumbo
- Chop all vegetables (onion, bell peppers, celery, okra) and set aside. Dice half of the Andouille sausage and cut the remaining half into rounds.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, whisk together the flour and oil (and optional bacon fat) over medium heat to create a roux.
- Cook the roux, whisking constantly, for 20-30 minutes, until it reaches a dark brown color similar to coffee. Do not walk away from the stove; the roux will burn easily.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the chopped onion, bell peppers, and celery to the roux. Cook, stirring constantly, until the vegetables begin to soften and release their moisture (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in the tomato paste until well combined.
- Add Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper (if using), black pepper, and salt. Stir to incorporate.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken stock, ensuring no lumps form.
- Add the diced Andouille sausage and the cooked, shredded chicken.
- Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through.
- Add the chopped okra and simmer for another 10 minutes, or until tender.
- Stir in the sliced Andouille sausage and shrimp during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Turn off the heat and let the gumbo sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve hot over white rice with cornbread.
