While the above is simmering ,put the Blue Runner Creol Cream Style Red Beans ,with one can of water or chicken broth per can in the blender or food processor to liquify.(I do this one can at a time ,less mess)After the beans or liquifed ,pour beans in the pot with other ingredients and bring to a boil.Mixture can be thined by adding a little more water.Let simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour ..Stir and do not let scorch .You can add file if you want it just before serving....Some folks like a chopped boiled egg served on top.Season to taste and serve over rice or eat with French Bread or Crackers..I like hot sauce with mine....You can use chicken in it or shrimp .This is gumbo use what ever meat you like....
  • 3. Personal ,this recipe can be doubled or even tripled ,if you like .When my brothers or here ,I double the recipe .Just double all the ingredients.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your gumbo a more complex flavor and texture. Great Northern beans, black-eyed peas, and kidney beans are all good choices.
  • Soak your beans overnight. This will help them to cook more evenly. If you don't have time to soak your beans, you can also use canned beans.
  • Use a flavorful stock. A good stock will give your gumbo a rich and deep flavor. Chicken stock, vegetable stock, or seafood stock are all good choices.
  • Add a variety of vegetables. Vegetables will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your gumbo. Onions, celery, and bell peppers are all classic choices, but you can also add other vegetables that you like, such as okra, tomatoes, or corn.
  • Use a good roux. A roux is a mixture of fat and flour that is used to thicken gumbo. A dark roux will give your gumbo a rich, dark color, while a light roux will give it a lighter, more golden color.
  • Cook your gumbo low and slow. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. Simmer your gumbo for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for a richer flavor.
  • Serve your gumbo with rice. Rice is the traditional accompaniment to gumbo. You can also serve it with cornbread or French bread.

Conclusion:

Gumbo is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. With a little planning and effort, you can make a gumbo that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give gumbo a try.
