Mixing a shrimp stock + chicken stock gives it a much deeper, & bolder flavor that hits hard. & I particularly finely chop the okra, fry out the slime then add to it.

Being from Louisiana, gumbo is a childhood favorite. This looks good.

[sharonbuchanan]

Matt, I made this gumbo today! And all I can say is Lawd Hammercy!! This is DELICIOUS.

I'm from Lousiana but live in Houston, Texas. All your ingredients are all the items that I use in my Gumbo! Love it.

[cherilynmitchell]

Looking good, I’ve been making it for years as my Mama was from NOLA. I like using File’ though.

[stevemullins]

Rue is easy, just don't stop the sturning till you get the color you want.

Great channel! For the gumbo you would be doing yourself a service to invest in some gumbo file (ground sassafras leaves). It really adds a lil somthin somthin to the gumbo. Kudos on a great channel!

I'm from New Orleans and I make my gumbo similar to this but I don't make my own roux anymore. My Mother and Sisters stopped making their own roux, too. We now use Zatarain's Gumbo Base which is pretty good. We cook, season and taste as we go and it always come out perfect. Can't wait to throw down. Have an AMAZING holiday with your family, yall.❤😋

Love okra in gumbo and love okra any way it’s cooked

[deniseegleton]

I love gumbo and make it several times during the fall/winter months.

[JaZxZeE]

Best shrimp and grits I’ve ever made had my friend coming back for more the next day. Thank you for all the great recipes

I always make Gumbo, try it without oil. Take about 20 extra minutes. Delicious try it.

[jasonworingen]

Brown your flower in the oven (don't burn it, just brown it to a nice dark color!) and freeze it. SIFT OFTEN TO NOT HAVE THE FLOUR HARDEN. Should take about 45-60mins for a large batch. No oil required. Brown and dark brown roux have more flavor, but less thickening power, so you need a little more the darker you go. Good Gumbo is low and slow in heavy pot, stirring often. Minimum 4 hours of cook time. Treat it with love and like you're making it for someone special. Always better the next day so don't be hungry. You'll be rewarded.

We just got hit by hurricane Milton and this is brightening my day. Looks delicious. ❤❤😮

[lauralarita]

My daughter asked me to make gumbo for her 40th birthday. That’s her favorite dish that I make, have been making gumbo for many years. and yes, team okra.❤

[louisewarren]

My granddaughter and I love Okra!Will try this!!

[brewtimematters]

Another great Dish... Fall food is here !!

[justinsingleton]

Sometimes I make my own stock, it's pretty easy just get one of those store rotisserie chicken, debone it, add the bones, skin and wings with an onion and let it simmer for a while in water, deep flavor

[antoinettezepeda]

The out takes are hilarious!!! I love gumbo! Yours is lookin good! My sister had a friend from Louisiana who made it for us and taught her how to make it. It's been way to long since I've had it! It's still too hot on my side the world for soups though.
