Ingredients

1 large gumbo pot /stock pot

1 hen cut up I prefer a hen but you can use a chicken/fryer but be careful of it fall apart unless it is deboned... lesser time in the cooking)

1/4 cup of oil

1 tbsp Cajun seasoning

1 tbsp of RED Pepper ( only if you want it Hot Spicy flavor)

2 cups chopped white/yellow onion

16 oz dark roux (Savoy)

1 can 32 oz chicken broth

8 cups water

1 pound sliced andouille

1 pound of smoked sausage

1 pound of tasso

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup minced parsley

1/4 cup chopped green onion

4 cups cooked rice

Directions

In your gumbo pot

pour your oil and heat

season your hen

place hen into your gumbo pot , cook until brown,

add... andouille, sausage, tasso let brown with hen.

after browning all meat remove from pot and add

yellow or white onions, after saute' of the onions

add some of your parsley, green onions. reserving 1/2 of them for later.

add roux ( you may make your own or buy Savoy )

add about a 1/2 jar of the 16 oz of roux. let melt down into the onions

you may add some of the chicken broth at this time to keep it from burning....keep stirring until it becomes a smooth liquid paste, you may then return to the pot your hen, sausage, andouille, tasso. add some more chicken broth, and water.

making your gumbo as thick or thin as you would like it by eirther not adding to much water or adding the water.....I prefer the in between. a thin gumbo is uck to me....

let your gumbo cook at a med. heat for about 2 hour 30 minutes or until your hen is tender.

thank you and enjoy
