This is my absolute FAVORITE gumbo recipe. I make it all the time, and get rave reviews. Sometimes, in lieu of using a whole raw chicken, I'll use several chicken breasts...or my favorite cheat is to use one of those rotisserie chickens from the grocery store! Yum!! i know the butter/flour quantities are not there at all. I usually just start with 3/4 c each of butter and flour, and once it's time to add the liquid...I just add enough to where it's the consistency I want. If it's too thin, I make a slurry of flour and water and pour that in to thicken. anyways - hope you have a great time makin' gumbo! It's definitely gettin to be gumbo weather here in TN. :)

Here's the recipe that I use. . I leave the shrimp out (just because)!! Add more chicken and sausage. It's a really large recipe. I have enough frozen for four more meals with leftovers for each meal. But I won't have to cook for awhile! :lol:
There are a ton of other gumbo recipes on the allrecipes site

Ingredients
1 cup vegetable oil

I have to say that I tried the recipe today from Recipezaar. It takes a good hour to make that Roux...I was amazed how it changed from a pale yellow to a chocolate brown.
I have never attempted something like this before and I must say...IT IS DELICIOUS!!!
Thanks for the recipe!
