Authentic Louisiana Gumbo is a flavorful dish made with a dark roux, Andouille sausage, fresh vegetables, and classic Cajun seasoning.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Andouille sausage, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 bell peppers (red and green), chopped
  • 1 cup okra, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup flour

Instructions

  1. Chop the onions, bell peppers, celery, and slice the Andouille sausage into rounds.
  2. In a large pot, combine vegetable oil and flour to create a roux. Stir continuously until it turns dark brown (15-20 minutes).
  3. Add the chopped vegetables to the roux and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in sliced sausage, garlic, and Cajun seasoning, cooking for another 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and canned tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 30 minutes.
  6. Add the okra during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Stir occasionally until tender.

Notes

  • The gumbo can be served over rice for a heartier meal.
  • Adjust Cajun seasoning to suit your taste preference.
  • Ensure the roux is stirred continuously to prevent burning.
