Mixing a shrimp stock + chicken stock gives it a much deeper, & bolder flavor that hits hard. & I particularly finely chop the okra, fry out the slime then add to it.

@dianer.9203 4 дня назад

I also mix shrimp stock and chicken stock.

I buy boiled shrimp peel and boil the shells and heads in chicken broth then add it to the roux. I also add some tomato chunks with the sauce to the roux along with all the reg seasonings.

Most objections to okra are because of the ‘slime’ that can be eliminated by stirring in a Tbsp of Red Wine vinegar at the end. And I always add crawfish tail meat to my gumbo!

Like you, I fry my okra first, but I hand rub the cut up pieces in flower to keep the slimy, gooiness down, shaking off any excess... I take them to a golden crispiness and they soften to perfection when stewed with everything else... I add File powder too for a deep, rich flavor... Awesome dish!

@judyfrank2551 День назад

I've always felt too intimidated to try to make gumbo, but you do make it look easy -- although probably still time consuming. I do love a nice dark roue. I would probably leave out the okra, unless I try what one person suggested to chop it up small and fry out the slime. I love fried (battered) okra, but that's typically the only way I will eat it. Is this recipe in either of your cookbooks? I have ordered your "solo" cookbook and look forward to getting it.

Okra is mainly used as a thickening agent. Here in south Louisiana we mostly use File’, which is dried and ground sassafras root, if you don’t like okra.

@dartagnanleblanc 2 дня назад

Try using 1 cup of flour with A 1/2 cup of oil. Trust me you would barely have any oil in your gumbo. People think u have to use equal parts you don’t. Plus the roux will be nice an thick more of that nutty Smokey flavor it’s makes for a deeper flavor gumbo.

@mflournoy2971 3 дня назад

Yes BabySit it! A dear friend of mines gave me a recipe for Gumbo years ago. It was about eight pages long and she wrote it out in her beautiful handwriting . . . Step-by-Step. I was kinda her 'play daughter' and I loved how she ushered me to woman-hood. Anywho, I made the Gumbo for my husband's and I Fifth Wedding Anniversary party for our coupled-friends. Anywho, allllll the women-folx called me the next morning and told me that their beloved's 'rumble in the jungle' was the best night they EVER HAD (including myself hahahahaha). I don't recall any exotic ingredients (but I did use Gumbo File). Allst I remember is taking my time and making it with L-O-V-E. It took me a couple of days to get through it, but hearing that mah gurlz got 'The Baby-Baby-90-Minute-Man-Action'....I was blowin' my knuckles. Mission Accomplished.

@amen_ra6926 3 дня назад

The closest to Gumbo I've made was Shrimp Etouffee. Babysitting that roux with the stirring really wears out the wrist and elbows but worth it. As for Okra, it makes no difference to me. I'm good either way. Never got that slimy thing people talk about. ATK has steps to make roux in the oven so there isn't any of that stirring, doesn't burn, and it comes out with a nice color. . On another channel, critics were all up in arms about mixing chicken with seafood. The contention was either have a chicken gumbo or seafood gumbo but never ever mix them. To me, who cares. It's all tasty. A friend of mine uses King Crab because I guess Blues aren't that plentiful in CA? I don't know. Plus the King variety has larger legs and claws so there's that.
