Categories     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons avocado oil or butter
2 pounds bone-in (skin-on chicken thighs)
2, 12 ounce packages andouille sausage (thinly sliced)
1 large yellow onion (diced)
5 stalks celery (diced)
2 bell peppers (green or red both work here, diced)
5 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt (to taste*)
1 cup gluten free flour blend
3 quarts chicken broth (12 cups)
2 teaspoons Cajun spice blend
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 dried bay leaves
1 pound okra (tops removed and thinly sliced)
1/3 cup fresh chopped flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons lemon juice (about one lemon)
White rice (for serving)

Steps:

  • Add two tablespoons avocado oil to a large, heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken thighs dry and add to the pot (you may need to work in two batches) skin side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until skin is browned, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until browned, then remove the chicken from the pot.
  • Add the sliced sausage to the pot and cook for about 2 minutes, until browned, then flip the sausage and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove the sausage from the pot.
  • Drain off all but two tablespoons of oil from the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, and salt to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the celery and bell pepper have started to wilt. Remove the vegetables from the pot and set aside.
  • Add 1 cup avocado oil or butter to the pot over medium heat. Once warmed through (about 1 minute), add the flour and whisk the two together to combine. Continue to stir the mixture for about 12-15 minutes, until the roux achieves a peanut butter color and nutty fragrance. (Note that the roux may immediately turn brown from picking up the browned bits in the pot, but it will continue to darken in color and become more fragrant as you cook).
  • Stir the chicken broth into the roux, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps. Then, add in the chicken, sausage, vegetables, Cajun spice blend, leaves, black pepper, and bay leaves. Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for one hour.
  • Remove the chicken from the soup and shred with two forks, discarding the bones and skin, then return to the pot.
  • Add the okra to the pot, then cover and cook an additional 30 minutes, until the okra is softened and no longer stringy.
  • After 30 minutes, skim any excess fat off the top of the pot and stir in the parsley and lemon juice. Taste for seasoning and add additional salt or Cajun seasoning as needed, then serve alongside white rice!

GLUTEN-FREE CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO



Gluten-Free Chicken and Sausage Gumbo image

I modified my mother's chicken and sausage gumbo recipe to make it gluten-free. Good gumbo is hard to find for my friend with a wheat allergy. The wheat flour roux is the key ingredient for any gumbo. After experimenting with a few gluten-free alternatives, I find that a light brown millet flour roux thickens the gumbo and gives an excellent taste nearly equal to wheat flour. Most people won't notice the difference.

Time 2h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (3 pound) whole chicken, or more to taste
6 cups water, or more as needed
1 cup millet flour
¾ cup vegetable oil
1 white onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound andouille sausage, cut into bite-size pieces
3 stalks celery, chopped
½ cup chopped green onion
3 bay leaves
2 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon file powder

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a 6- to 8-quart stockpot and pour in enough water to completely cover the chicken; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from water and place on a work surface to cool, retaining the resulting chicken stock in the stockpot.
  • Cook and stir millet flour and vegetable oil together in a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat until roux is smooth and slightly darker than peanut butter, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix onion, green bell pepper, and garlic into roux; cook and stir over low heat until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer onion-roux mixture to stockpot with chicken stock.
  • Bring chicken stock mixture to a simmer over medium heat; add andouille sausage, celery, green onion, bay leaves, salt, thyme, and cayenne pepper and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Remove skin from cooked chicken and discard. Pull meat from the bones and chop into bite-size pieces; discard carcass. Add chicken meat to broth mixture and simmer until chicken is heated through, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove stockpot from heat, stir file powder into gumbo, and remove and discard bay leaves.

Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 22

Ingredients
½ cup +1 teaspoon canola or preferred oil, divided
12 oz package andouille sausage cut into ⅓ to ½ inch pieces. (Aidells or La Fresca are preferred brands.)
3 to 4 chicken breasts (approx. 4 cups), trimmed and cut into small (approx. 1-inch) pieces. (See note in Instructions.)
1 ½ tsp salt, or to taste, divided
1 ⅓ cups gluten-free flour (I've had good results with Namaste cup-for-cup.)
1 cup minced onion
1 cup finely chopped green pepper
1 ½ cups finely chopped celery
8 cups gluten-free chicken stock (Imagine or Kitchen basics low sodium preferred.)
1 cup water
2 bay leaves
½ tsp thyme
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne, or to taste
¾ tsp ground black pepper, or to taste
1 ½ tsp paprika
12 oz package frozen, chopped okra
Optional: filé powder to garnish, as noted in the instructions
Optional: thinly-sliced green onions to garnish

Steps:

  • Instructions
  • To save on prep time, you may bake and shred the chicken beforehand, but you achieve a better flavor by sauteing the uncooked chicken pieces in the andouille drippings as noted below.
  • Heat 1 tsp of oil in a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan on medium heat.
  • Add sausage pieces and saute until lightly browned on both sides. Approximately 10 minutes.
  • Transfer cooked sausage to a plate and drain on paper towels. Reserve the hot pan with sausage drippings to cook the chicken.
  • Saute the chicken on medium heat with 1 tsp salt for 10 minutes or until cooked. Set aside.
  • Heat remaining oil in a dutch oven over low-medium heat.
  • Slowly whisk in gluten-free flour and stir frequently until the roux turns a light-medium brown--a bit darker than the roux here. This should take 10-15 minutes. Depending on the gluten-free flour you're using, it may burn before it turns the chocolate color that conventional roux tends to be. Don't let that happen, as it will impact the flavor of the gumbo.
  • Add onion, green pepper, and celery to the roux and stir occasionally for 5 minutes to 'sweat' them.
  • Slowly stir in the chicken broth and water, 1 cup at a time.
  • Add bay leaves, spices, and the cooked chicken.
  • Cover and gently simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add cooked sausage and frozen okra and cook uncovered for 20 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve on a bed of cooked white rice and garnish with sliced green onions and your favorite hot sauce. Gumbo normally calls for filé powder, but you might have a hard time finding Zatarain's filé or another gluten-free version. If you happen to find some, add a sprinkle on each bowlful before serving.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup frozen chopped onions
1 cup frozen green bell peppers
1 cup frozen cut okra
1 cup chopped celery
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning, or to taste
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 (3.5 ounce) bag boil-in-bag rice
2 cups chopped roasted chicken
8 ounces kielbasa sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green peppers and onions
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth

Steps:

  • Combine flour and oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until it forms a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the flour turns dark golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. The darker the roux, the more depth of flavor, but don't burn it.
  • Add onions, bell peppers, okra, celery, garlic, Creole seasoning, thyme, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender, 3 to 6 minutes.
  • While vegetables are cooking, bring 4 cups water to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan. Add unopened bag of rice and boil, uncovered, until rice is tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove bag from water and drain. Cut open bag, pour rice into a bowl, and fluff.
  • Stir chicken, kielbasa, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth into the cooked vegetables. Cook until thoroughly heated, about 10 minutes. Serve gumbo over warm rice.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your gumbo. Look for plump, juicy shrimp, firm fish, and tender chicken. If you can, use homemade chicken stock or broth for a richer flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the roux. The roux is what gives gumbo its signature rich, dark color and flavor. Be sure to cook it slowly and stir it constantly to prevent it from burning.
  • Add vegetables to your gumbo. Vegetables not only add flavor and texture to gumbo, but they also make it more nutritious. Some good options include onions, celery, bell peppers, okra, and tomatoes.
  • Season your gumbo well. Gumbo should have a complex flavor profile, with a balance of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy. Use a variety of spices, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, and garlic powder, to achieve the perfect flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. When you add too much food to the pot, the gumbo will become watery and bland. Add the ingredients in batches and cook them until they are heated through before adding more.
  • Let your gumbo simmer. Simmering allows the flavors of the gumbo to meld together and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste. Aim for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer it for up to an hour if you have the time.

Conclusion:

Gumbo is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a casual weeknight meal or a special occasion. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a gumbo recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give gumbo a try.
