I've been experimenting with different dark roux recipes for years, and this one is by far the best. It's the perfect balance of dark and flavorful, and it doesn't have any of the bitterness that I've experienced with other recipes.

I used this dark roux to make gumbo, and it was the best gumbo I've ever had. The roux added a deep, rich flavor that made the gumbo incredibly flavorful and satisfying.
