Categories     main-dish

Time 4h

Yield 6 to 7 cups, 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 pound smoked sausage, such as andouille or kielbasa, cut crosswise 1/2-inch thick pieces
4 pounds chicken thighs, skin removed
1 tablespoon Essence or Creole seasoning, recipe follows
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped bell peppers
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3 bay leaves
9 cups chicken stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1 tablespoon file powder
White Rice, recipe follows
Hot sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 cups long-grain white rice
4 cups water, chicken stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • In a large enameled cast iron Dutch oven or large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until well browned, about 8 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
  • Season the chicken with the Essence and add in batches to the fat remaining in the pan. Cook over medium-high heat until well browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan, let cool, and then refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Combine the remaining 1/2 cup oil and the flour in the same Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook, stirring slowly and constantly for 20 to 25 minutes, to make a dark brown roux, the color of chocolate.
  • Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers and cook, stirring, until wilted, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the reserved sausage, salt, cayenne, and bay leaves, stir, and cook for 2 minutes. Stirring, slowly add the chicken stock, and cook, stirring, until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
  • Add the reserved chicken to the pot and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, skimming off any fat that rises to the surface.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken thighs from the gumbo and place on a cutting board to cool slightly. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Pull the chicken meat from the bones and shred, discarding the bones and skin. Return the meat to the gumbo and stir in the green onions, parsley, and file powder.
  • Spoon rice into the bottom of deep bowls or large cups and ladle the gumbo on top. Serve, passing hot sauce on the side.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  • Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch Published by William and Morrow, 1993.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the rice, water, butter, salt, and bay leaf and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let sit, covered and undisturbed, for 5 minutes.
  • Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork. Discard the bay leaf and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will make a big difference in your gumbo.
  • Brown the Chicken and Sausage: Browning the chicken and sausage before adding them to the gumbo will help to develop their flavor and give the dish a richer color.
  • Use a Good Quality Stock: The stock you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your gumbo. Use a good quality chicken or vegetable stock, or make your own if you have the time.
  • Don't Skimp on the Holy Trinity: The holy trinity of onions, celery, and bell peppers is essential for gumbo. Make sure to use plenty of it and sauté it until it is soft and fragrant.
  • Season to Taste: Taste your gumbo as you cook it and adjust the seasonings as needed. Gumbo should be flavorful but not too spicy. If you like a spicy gumbo, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to taste.
  • Let the Gumbo Rest: After you have cooked the gumbo, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve with Rice: Gumbo is traditionally served with rice. You can use white rice, brown rice, or even dirty rice. Add a side of cornbread or hush puppies for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Chicken gumbo is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables, and it is also a perfect meal for a special occasion.
