Instructions

Step 1

Roux: combine equal parts oil and butter in dutch oven over medium heat. Add flour and stir/whisk to combine. Stir frequently until desired darkness of roux develops~ 20-40 mins. The darker the roux, the stronger and deeper the flavor. Meanwhile, sauté chicken and sausage in a skillet with a little oil (optional) until lightly browned. Remove, set aside.

Step 2

Add chopped onion, pepper and celery to the roux. Sauté until tender. Stir in garlic, cook 1 minute.

Step 3

Slowly stir in broth, spices and cooked meat to the pot with roux. Add okra, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 mins or until okra is cooked and not slimy anymore.

Step 4

Add shrimp, simmer 8-10 minutes. Season to taste and add Gumbo filé powder if desired. Serve over cooked rice.
