Brits Try GUMBO | Chicken & Sausage For The First Time !

Mr H and Mrs H make and eat Gumbo for the very first time !

What is Gumbo?

Chicken and sausage gumbo is a flavorful and hearty stew originating from Louisiana, a cornerstone of Creole and Cajun cuisine. It reflects a unique blend of French, African, Spanish, and Native American culinary traditions, and is known for its deep, complex flavors.

What Makes Gumbo Special?
Gumbo is a dish that's both filling and comforting, often associated with family gatherings and celebrations. It's famous for its dark roux, a thickener made from fat and flour, which gives the gumbo its rich and smoky flavor. The dish also stands out because of its use of "The Holy Trinity" (a sautéed blend of onions, bell peppers, and celery), which is the flavor foundation of many Creole dishes.

Key Ingredients:
Chicken: Often bone-in for added flavor, simmered until tender.
Sausage: Andouille sausage is the traditional choice—smoked, spicy, and full of flavor.
Roux: Made by cooking fat (usually oil or butter) with flour until it becomes a dark brown color. The roux thickens the stew and adds depth to the flavor.
Holy Trinity: A mix of chopped onions, celery, and bell peppers.
Okra or Filé Powder: Both are traditional thickeners used in gumbo. Okra also adds a slightly sweet flavor.
Broth: Chicken broth or stock forms the base of the gumbo.
Spices: Cajun or Creole seasonings, including garlic, thyme, paprika, and cayenne pepper, give gumbo its signature kick.
Rice: Gumbo is typically served over white rice, which helps absorb the flavors of the stew.
How It's Made:
Start by making the roux, cooking it until it reaches a deep, dark brown.
Sauté the Holy Trinity in the roux.
Add the sausage and chicken, letting the flavors meld together.
Pour in broth and seasonings, then simmer for a few hours.
The result is a rich, savory stew served over rice.
What Does It Taste Like?
Chicken and sausage gumbo is a combination of smoky, savory, and spicy flavors, with a rich texture from the roux and a slightly thick consistency from the okra or filé powder. The sausage adds a hint of smokiness and spice, while the chicken absorbs all the flavors of the dish, making it tender and flavorful.

It's a soul-warming dish perfect for cold days or gatherings, and it’s a true representation of the multicultural influences in Louisiana cuisine.
