This is an EASY recipe. My son doesn't like cabbage but will eat this like crazy. You can make it low-fat by using ground turkey and low-fat sausage. They won't know the difference.

Steps:
- Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup of the oil and the sausage, and cook, stirring, until it has browned and much of the fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate with a slotted spoon; set aside.
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup oil, and heat. Add the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the onions, peppers, celery and 2 teaspoons salt, and cook, partially covered, lifting the lid to stir occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes (add a splash of water or broth if the mixture begins to stick to the bottom of the pot). Add the okra, garlic, thyme, bay leaves and crushed red peppers, and cook, stirring, until the okra begins to soften, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, tomatoes and reserved sausage, and bring to a high simmer. Adjust the heat to maintain a low simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, to heat through the soup and let the flavors meld, about 20 minutes. If you want the soup thinner, add a little more chicken broth or water. Stir in the vinegar, scallions and parsley, and add salt to taste.
- Let the soup cool to room temperature, then divide it among four 1-quart containers and freeze for up to 1 month.
- To reheat: Let the soup thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Bring it to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until heated through. Thin it with a little water if desired, and adjust the seasoning with salt. Serve with steamed white rice.
SEAFOOD & ANDOUILLE GUMBO
Gumbo was always something that I never made. I never ate it, didn't like it and didn't want to take the time to make it. Until I learned the correct way to do it. This is our family's favorite gumbo...seafood and andouille sausage. But it has to be a good quality andouille. If you can't get an andouille, then substitute a good smoked sausage or kielbasa.

Steps:
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper and Creole seasoning and brown quickly. Brown the sausage, pour off fat and reserve meats.
- In a large, heavy pot, heat the oil and cook the flour in the oil over medium to high heat (depending on your roux-making skill), stirring constantly, until the roux reaches a dark reddish-brown color, almost the color of coffee or milk chocolate for a Cajun-style roux. If you want to save time, or prefer a more New Orleans-style roux, cook it to a medium, peanut-butter color, over lower heat if you're nervous about burning it.
- Add the vegetables and stir quickly. This cooks the vegetables and also stops the roux from cooking further. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes.
- Add the stock, seasonings, chicken and sausage. Bring to a boil, then cook for about one hour, skimming fat off the top as needed.
- Add the chopped scallion tops and parsley, and heat for 5 minutes. Add file powder to taste just before serving. This also acts as a thickening agent. Serve over rice in large shallow bowls. Accompany with a good beer and lots of hot, crispy French bread.
Tips:
- Use a Dutch oven or large pot for cooking the gumbo. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the gumbo from burning.
- Sauté the vegetables in a little bit of oil before adding them to the gumbo. This will help to bring out their flavor and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Use a good quality andouille sausage. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the gumbo.
- Don't be afraid to add more vegetables to the gumbo. Almost any vegetable can be used, so feel free to experiment.
- Let the gumbo simmer for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the gumbo over rice or with a side of cornbread.
Conclusion:
Cabbage and andouille gumbo is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a comforting and flavorful meal, give cabbage and andouille gumbo a try.
