Gumbo you can make spicy..the flavor is so great we love it any time..good with potato salad or sweet potatos ....
Ingredients
- 1 large gumbo pot /stock pot shopping list

- 1/4 cup of oil shopping list
- 1 tbsp cajun seasoning shopping list
- 1 tbsp of red pepper ( only if you want it Hot Spicy flavor) shopping list

- 1 pound of tasso shopping list
- 1/4 tsp salt shopping list
- 1/4 cup minced parsley shopping list
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion shopping list

How to make it
- 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.
