This recipe started as an experiment using chayote. It received unexpected raves at the table and is now in regular rotation at our house. We like this served over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right gumbo file powder. Not all file powders are created equal. Look for a brand that uses a dark roux and has a spicy flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different proteins. You can use chicken, shrimp, or even crawfish in this stew. Andouille sausage is a classic, but you could also try kielbasa or smoked sausage.
  • Add a variety of vegetables. Okra is the star of this show, but you can also add bell peppers, celery, onions, or corn.
  • Season the stew to your liking. Cajun seasoning is a good place to start, but you can also add paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the stew over rice. This is the traditional way to serve gumbo, and it's a great way to soak up all the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Bayou okra sausage stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and comforting meal, give this stew a try. You won't be disappointed!
