Gumbo

A thick Cajun stew made from a variety of ingredients that can include seafood, meat, sausage, and vegetables. Poultry often is added. Gumbo usually starts with a roux and has okra or file powder added. It frequently is served with rice.

Recipes

  1. African-Creole Turkey Gumbo

    This thick dish of shrimp, sausage, and chicken begins with a dark roux (ROO), flour and fat cooked slowly over low heat to the color (light to dark) specified in the recipe. Spicy and served over rice, gumbo is a mainstay to serve on holidays.

  2. Chicken-Andouille File Gumbo

    Do not add file powder to the entire pot of gumbo . If gumbo is reheated with file powder in it, the file will become stringy and unpleasant.

  3. Crab Gumbo

    This low-calorie recipe includes everything necessary to call this Cajun recipe a gumbo --except the fat-laden roux.
