Its been raining off and on since Sunday (more on than off) and that, coupled with a discussion of gumbo on another thread, lead to the inevitable conclusion. Let's make a gumbo! So we did! 😀
The roux is the most time consuming part - you must make sure you don't burn it as you brown it. Some folks bake the flour without oil, but this is a non-starter to most of us Louisianians.
Now, time for the "holy trinity." First person to correctly identify this ingedient gets mailed one of Kurt's SoWal.com stickers.

So we did! 😀I am going to guess the ingredient to be roux, more specifically, roux made from bacon grease and all purpose flour. Wait a minute, is it dog meat?

Nope, but you get another chance. Here's a hint. The roux is finished (oil & flour) to a dark amber. Now the "holy trinity" is incorporated to the roux. What is it that we add now? (No, not dog meat :shock: )

kURT beat me by a keystroke. (Yikes, that doesn't sound right 😱 )
beats on hood
My years of eating well in NOLA while at Tulane and later on being a Paul Prudhomme fan taught me that roux is all-important.
I really wish that Cajun cooking hadn't gotten so popular that it's now out of style. I adore it.

Next is ...
Cayenne Peppa'?

Yippee!!! I sent you a pm. Thanks!
Would you believe I'm probably the only cajun girl that's allergic to seafood :(
I have made a roux or two. The family joke is that since I tend to overcook things, I was the perfect chef to get the roux brown enough.
I'll post my new sticker with pride!
