This gumbo recipe is different because it includes chicken and sausages. This recipe also has some vegetables such as onions and celery. One of the most important ingredients in this gumbo is the roux which is made with flour and oil or butter.
The roux is what gives this gumbo its flavor and thickness. It’s made by cooking flour in oil or butter over low heat for about 20 minutes until it becomes a dark brown color.
In Louisiana, gumbo is a popular dish. It consists of rice, vegetables, and meat. Rice can be made with different types of grains such as white, brown, or wild rice.
White rice is the most common type of rice used for gumbo because it has a light color and does not overwhelm the dish with its flavor. Brown rice has a nutty flavor that could work well in this dish but might overpower it if you use too much. Wild rice has an earthy flavor that could also work well in this dish but might make it too heavy if you use too much.
