🍲 Chicken & Sausage Gumbo

6 servings · prep 25 min · cook 1 h 30

Ingredients

• 100 ml oil
• 120 g flour
• 500 g chicken thighs
• 300 g smoked sausage
• 2 onions
• 1 green bell pepper
• 3 celery sticks
• 250 g okra
• 1.5 l stock
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp cayenne
• Rice
• Spring onion

Method

1. Make the roux: oil + flour over medium heat, stirring CONSTANTLY for 25 to 40 min until milk-chocolate coloured. This is the soul of the dish — if it burns, start over.
2. Throw the chopped onion, pepper and celery into the hot roux all at once: it stops the cooking and perfumes everything.
3. Add the sliced sausage and the chicken, then the spices.
4. Pour in the stock little by little, whisking to avoid lumps.
5. Simmer 1 h over low heat, adding the okra for the last 20 min (it thickens the sauce).
6. Shred the chicken, adjust the seasoning and serve over rice with spring onion.
