2. Cooking Directions
- In a large stainless-steel pot, heat the oil over moderate heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking, until starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to moderately low. Stir in the onion, celery, and bell pepper and cook until starting to soften, about 7 minutes. Add the okra, bay leaf, thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and tomatoes. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the broth and the smoked sausage. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the chicken and cook until just done, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Remove the bay leaf.
- Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Stir in the rice and boil until just done, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain. Put a mound of rice in the center of each bowl. Ladle the gumbo around the rice.
Yield: 4 servings

Please Don
Lana S - June 5, 2008 06:39:02 PM PSTUnless you see a gumbo recipe from south Louisiana, it's not gumbo. It's a glorified soup/stew of some sort. You can opt out of the roux making (the oil and flour part) by going online and ordering Kary's Roux from Ville Platte. The greatest gumbo recipe is located right on the jar. Although other states don't have the great smoked sausage we do, you can substitute or you can also order authentic cajun sausage and other delights from Don's Specialty Meats in Carencro, Louisiana. Once you cook a real gumbo, this other stuff will make you cringe!!!!

TOMATOES???
Stephen J - February 11, 2008 01:40:28 PM PSTNobody in their right mind would dare to put tomatoes in gumbo. When are you dumb old yankees gonna learn?? We don't put oregano in gumbo either! The only thing that goes in gumbo is the holy trinity of celery, bell pepper and onion. Then you add cayenne and maybe a little garlic. You danged ole yankees leave our gumbo alone, you are never gonna improve perfection.

Chicken and smoked sausage- gumbo
James R - January 16, 2008 11:26:13 AM PSTI made this receipe but omited the tomatoes (I Iived in N.O. for awhile and I.m not a gumbo expert) but i don't like tomatoes in my gumbo.(overpowers the taste) This was very good! Foods passed down from generation to generation often indicates what part of the state, the person came from or family originated Most families back then used what was available to their area. As an example check out the many receipes for clam chowed receipes from N.E. New Yorkers add tomatoes, Mass. has milk or cream but older native Rhode Islandes use just clam juice.

pretty tasty
amature critique - February 1, 2008 12:20:39 PM PSTI used chicken thighs for more flavor, more roux because i like it darker and turkey sausage because it was cheaper that the regular stuff.
Gumbo can we made either with okra or file powder(ground sassafras root i believe) as a thickening. I prefer the Okra!
It also seemed like it could use some more spice (and no tomatoes) but I'm not sure what other spice to put in. any ideas?0 of 1 found this review helpful.
