Rouxless Gumbo image

Gumbo has a history of being made with roux, but my Mom's recipe didn't have it. Now it is my most requested item at work, tailgating parties, and at home. The vegetables really shine in this gumbo!

This gumbo was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the texture was too thick. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try making it again with less cayenne pepper.

This gumbo was a hit! I made it for a party and everyone loved it. The flavor was rich and complex, and the texture was perfect. I especially liked that it didn't have any roux, which made it much easier to prepare.
