Yield Makes about 20 cups, serving 10 to 12 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds smoked pork sausage or pork and beef sausage such as kielbasa, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
8 chicken thighs
8 chicken drumsticks
two 10-ounce boxes frozen whole okra, rinsed to separate okra and cut into 1/4-inch- thick rounds
2 large onions, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
8 cups chicken broth
8 cups water
1 cup thinly sliced scallion greens (about 1 bunch)
Accompaniment: Cajun-style White Rice
bottled hot sauce such as Tabasco

Steps:

  • In a heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown sausage in batches, without crowding, transferring to paper towels to drain. Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Brown chicken in fat remaining in skillet in batches, without crowding, transferring to paper towels to drain.
  • Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon fat from skillet and cook okra over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden. Add onions and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until celery is softened.
  • In a 9 1/2-to-10 quart heavy kettle bring broth and water to a boil. Stir in okra mixture and chicken and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and gumbo is thickened, about 30 minutes. Add sausage, scallions, and salt and pepper to taste and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Gumbo may be made 3 days ahead, cooled completely, uncovered, and chilled, cover.
  • Serve gumbo ladled over rice in large soup plates. Serve hot sauce on the side.

I would give this gumbo a 3 out of 5 stars. It's a decent recipe, but it could use some improvements.

Overall, I thought this gumbo was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The okra in this gumbo was a bit slimy for my taste. I think I would prefer to use a different vegetable next time.

I found this gumbo to be a bit bland. I think it could use more spices and seasonings.

This gumbo is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This gumbo is delicious! The chicken sausage adds a nice smoky flavor and the okra gives it a nice texture. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this gumbo last night and it was a hit! The chicken sausage and okra were cooked to perfection and the broth was so flavorful. I served it over rice and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold night.

This chicken sausage and okra gumbo is a delightful dish that combines the savory flavors of chicken sausage, okra, and a rich, flavorful broth. The okra adds a unique texture and a slightly tangy flavor that complements the smokiness of the chicken
