Ingredients
  • 2 To 3 parts all purpose flour
  • Tion of these
  • 1 Part oil bacon
  • Drippings, olive oil, cook-
  • Ing oil, lard or a combina-

Directions
  • Step #1 If I want a thick roux, I use 3 parts flour to 1 part oil.
  • Step #2 If I want a thin roux, I use 2 parts flour to 1 part oil.
  • Step #3 Mix the flour & oil in a heavy pot.
  • Step #4 A black iron skillet or a Magnalite skillet works best.
  • Step #5 Cook on medium heat slowly as the roux changes from a cream color all the way to a dark chocolate color.
  • Step #6 After the roux is past a medium brown, you've got to stir the roux constantly to keep it from burning.
  • Step #7 If you do burn the roux, throw it out, wash the pot & start over.
  • Step #8 The way I make a roux it takes from 45 mins to more than one hr before it gets dark as I like it.
  • Step #9 I use a dark roux for all my gumbos & sauce piquants.
  • Step #10 For some gravies & sauces it is not as important to make the roux so dark.
  • Step #11 Some milk based soups call for a light colored roux.
  • Step #12 Even so, I usually make my lightest roux about the color of the water in the Mississippi at Baton Rouge.
  • Step #13 After my roux is cooked as dark as I want it, bell pepper, like onion, I add my sliced vegetables, & celery.
  • Step #14 I stir after each addition & love to hear the sliced onions sizzle in the hot roux.
  • Step #15 It starts to smell pretty good when the vegetables are added.
  • Step #16 Bell pepper & celery are taste killers, so don't use too much.
  • Step #17 You can use as much onion as you like.
  • Step #18 After the vegetables have cooked awhile & the onions are clear, put in the sliced parsely & green onions.
  • Step #19 I put in a little cold water or stock & then add fresh minced garlic, & stir all the time.
  • Step #20 After the garlic has cooked awhile, I stir in the the liquids & all the other ingredients to make a gumbo, brown gravy hash or stew.
  • Step #21 --.
