Directions
Louisiana Chicken and Sausage GumboThe Real Stuff, I have had several people ask me for an authentic chicken gumbo recipe. This is my attempt at a recipe. I didn’t realize it until I sat down the try to type this, I don’t know HOW I make gumbo!Gumbo isn’t about recipes. I never saw my Maw Maw’s recipe because she didn’t have one. Gumbo is cooked with instinct and heart. Gumbo is a dish you are taught not something you can make by reading a recipe. My gumbo won’t taste like yours and yours won’t taste like mine, altough mine tastes pretty similar to Maw Maw’s but that is probably because she taught me how to make it when I was about 8. If you have the ability to cook with pinches, dabs and shakes, if you can season, then taste, then season a little more until it tastes right to you, then you can make gumbo using this “recipe”. If you can’t, you might want to find someone to show you how., People asking wheres the file powder and okra. Im born and raised in Louisiana eating gumbo and never have to use file powder. That stuff is too good to need that. On the sausage I buy mine from a Cajun meat market but any link sausage can usually work. The andouille sausage you can get at Walmart., One of my new go-to’s come fall. Made it a few times, sometimes with store bought rotisserie chicken, sometimes with whatever sausage was available brats, Hungarians, Italians, Chorizo but Andouille is the best and it’s always good.
