That’s right, I have a pretty sweet cutting mat at work.<\/span><\/div>\n

Full disclosure: I’ve never had gumbo anywhere else but my own home. For all I know, this recipe tastes NOTHING like the real deal. But it’s loosely based on a gumbo recipe I found online, that also mentioned that everyone’s gumbo is different, depending on the ingredients you like to use. So I’m going for it.<\/p>\n

Call it what you like, it’s definitely tasty. So here we go!<\/p>\n

Ingredients:\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
1\/3 cup flour<\/div>\n
1\/3 cup oil<\/div>\n
1 large onion, diced<\/div>\n
5 garlic cloves, minced<\/div>\n
1 cup veggies (I used a turnip)<\/div>\n
3 bay leaves<\/div>\n
1\/3 tsp cayenne pepper<\/div>\n
1\/2 tsp smoked paprika<\/div>\n
6 sausages (I used chorizo), sliced into rounds<\/div>\n
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (but use whatever beans you like)<\/div>\n
3 cups or so chicken stock<\/div>\n
1 can\/jar diced tomatoes<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Let’s do it!<\/b><\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Heat up a soup pot with oil until it moves around the pot really quickly if you tip it. Add flour and whisk\/stir with a wooden spoon for at least 25 minutes in low heat until it gets nice and dark. This is the roux that will thicken the gumbo.<\/li>\n
  2. Add all veggies into the pot and stir until onions are translucent.<\/li>\n
  3. Add spices.<\/li>\n
  4. Add sausage and let them cook in the bottom of the pan for a few minutes.<\/li>\n
  5. Add beans, tomatoes and enough chicken stock to cover everything. Bring to a boil and let simmer for an hour or so.<\/li>\n
  6. Serve over rice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Makes about 6 servings.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Easy? So easy. Yummy? SO YUMMY.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
