Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Serves: 8

Ingredients

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 large onion, chopped

1 bell pepper, chopped

2 celery stalks, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 lb andouille sausage, sliced

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 lb crabmeat

1/2 lb okra, sliced

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

6 cups chicken stock

2 bay leaves

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp hot sauce

3 green onions, chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

3 cups cooked white rice

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Gradually whisk in flour, stirring constantly, to create a roux. Cook until the roux is a rich chocolate brown, about 15-20 minutes.

2. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the roux. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in the sliced andouille sausage, shrimp, crabmeat, and okra. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the shrimp to turn pink and the sausage to brown slightly.

4. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken stock, bay leaves, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Stir well to combine.

5. Bring the gumbo to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. Remove gumbo from heat and stir in green onions and parsley. Adjust seasoning to taste.

7. Serve hot over cooked white rice.

Storage

Store leftover gumbo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheating

Reheat the gumbo gently on the stove over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally, or microwave on medium power in a microwave-safe dish, covered, until hot.
