Gumbo

[neci]

So today, I picked up all the fixings for a huge pot of gumbo. Shrimps and snausages. Fresh picked okra. Tomatoes. Onions. Garlic. All the goods. By the time I got home, I realized if I started then, it wouldn't be ready until 9 or 10 at night, so the plan changed, and I'm doing the roux in the morning. The secret to good gumbo is in the roux. Tradition calls for bacon fat, but since I'm fresh out of that, I'll be using butter and flour. Probably a good 30 minutes of constant stirring, before that nutty color and flavor appears. Then you know it's ready.

Love it and jambalaya but no good spot around here and I failed miserably at my first attempt at gumbo. Good luck. Post pics.

I have never heard of tomatoes in gumbo but it will probably be good. You better watch using butter for the roux as butter burns at a very low temp.

Gumbo is very easy to make but it takes two things. It takes time, and you taking your time.

Whatever works for you is what is best. Everyone in Louisiana does a little something to make theirs different. I even ate at one place that put oregano in theirs. I have to say that this was about the worst I have ever eaten.

LOL you just have to know how to cook each of them. When you eat slimy okra it means it is over cooked. Try roasting Brussels sprouts in the oven with bacon. It might change your mind.

no. i'll post here.

i can understand when people call dandelions, clover, plantain, oxalis and so forth weeds, because that's what the pesticide industry has taught you to think. okra and brussels sprouts require care. i like brussels sprouts, only when cooked to perfection. bacon and balsamic vinaigrette. roasted in a bit of olive oil. okra is an acquired taste. i really don't mind the slimy chunky, but then again.

that means i have to clean. do you clean?

looks like mine would be a creole gumbo, peanut butter roux. more mix-ins. i tend toward a veggie heavy thicker gumbo. then again, i also like chopped tomatoes in my chili along with beans.

I don't care what your house looks like!

people are partying it up over here. the four day A'FUCKING'MERKIN holiday weekend has begun. i'm pretty sure there's enough food to last the weekend. bottled water. make sure you have plenty of water around this weekend. fuckers are already popping shit off. guns are to follow on the fourth. it's like everyone says, fuck you, i'm an american and fires off their pistol for fuck's sake. every year kids die from gunshot wounds, cannons backwards fired. there may be chickens in my barrio, but for fuck's sake, they call it the city.

 

[parodyluvr75]

Same here, it's started. Burrowing in. Crazy people.

 

[bluemuse]

[neci]

[parodyluvr75]

[neci]
