Want a good cajun gator recipe????

Grilled Cajun Style Gator Tail Recipe


(from an experienced louisiana outdoorsman)


4 To 6 Lbs Gator Tail


Lemon wedges





Cajun Seasoning Mix:





12 T Paprika


6 T Garlic powder


3 T Salt


3 T White pepper


3 T Oregano, crushed


3 T Black pepper


2 1/2 T Thyme


1 T Cayenne pepper





To make seasoning mix, I combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, white pepper, oregano, black pepper, thyme and cayenne pepper in jar with tight fitting lid. Shake well to combine. I usually lean up against the wall with my good leg extended for balance. You can fall over while shaking if not careful. This mixture may be stored for up to 3 months


When ready to cook, cut gator tail meat into 1/2'; cubes. I use a Butcher Knife and have to be very careful with my one arm, not to miss the meat. Usually, I hold the meat in place with my good foot. You can wash it again later.


Next, roll each cube in 1 tablespoon of the mixture. This is easy to do when you only have 3 fingers. Cook over high heat on an outdoor barbecue grill or under the oven broiler for 4 to 6 minutes, or until gator tail meat is white and firm to the touch. Serve warm with lemon wedges. I use my teeth to squeeze the lemons (no one will ever know) The seasoning mixture will coat up to 24 (4 oz.) servings of gator tail.


This is from our Alligator recipes collection. Bon Appetite!Want a good cajun gator recipe????
I will be sure to keep that in mind if I ever see an alligator around here.Want a good cajun gator recipe????
I was researching biodiverse countries, one of which is Mexico. Many different types of crocodiles and gators there. Thanks for the recipe, but we are too far north to get the meat. Clever instructions. I'd love to see more of your recipe collection.
There's a 69-year old lady in Florida that could have used that recipe a little over a week ago . . .
You cheated! You saw my question yesterday in the China section? We have fresh crocodile at the local markets, I just don't know how to cook it!!!!


Is your recipe good? I will buy the meat and try it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Thanks!!!!!!
Bit low on Alligators here in the UK...would it work using an Orange tip butterfly?
Ewwww! LoL!!!
Hmmm. I've heard this same recipe works well with nutria, too.
Haven't seen any gators around this area. (No.. California) so, so we all have our parts, if you know what I mean. And I certainly don't know where to buy any. But if I ever do I will be sure to try your recipe.


What have you got for Opossum. I do occasionally see one late at night in his travels across my backyard fence. Once I was sitting out on my patio watching the stars and something came running across my patio. I think it was a Opossum chasing a cat or visa versa. They went by so fast It was kind of hard to tell who was chasing who. Scared the H--- out of me. Maybe a little Opossum stew?

Red Beans and Rice





1 lb. dried red kidney beans


2 qts. cold water


1 thick slice raw ham, cut into cubes


1/2 lb. hot sausage, slicked thick


1 bunch green onions, including green tops


1 bell pepper


2 stalks celery


3 medium sized onions


large pinch of ground thyme


4 bay leaves


cayenne pepper or tabasco sauce


salt, pepper





Rinse kidney beans, sorting out any that look bad. Put beans in a 3-4 quart pot with water, ham, and sausage. Set uncovered over medium heat. While water is heating, chop and add veggies, then add thyme and bay leaves.





When mixture boils, reduce heat and cover. Stir every 20-30 minutes for 3 hours. Then, with a wooden spoon, mash about 1/4 of the beans against the side of the pot. If they don't mash easily, try again in 1/2 hour.





Forty minutes after mashing the beans, taste and season with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper or pepper sauce. (Don't use too much. This should be subtly flavored.) Continue to simmer another 1/2 hr. while preparing rice. Ladle beans over rice to serve.





The veggies cook away to nothing. The mashed beans thicken the sauce to a creamy consistency.Your best cajun/creole recipe please?
OYSTERS CARNIVAL

18 strips bacon, precooked and crispy, but not too brown, drained, with each strip cut in half


6 lemon wedges for garnish


In an iron skillet saut茅 the minced onion, garlic, bay, cenery and thyme in 6 tablespoons fo the butter for about 15 minutes. Add the chopped oysters. Moisten 1 cup of the bread crumbs with about 1 cup of the oyster liquor. Add to the above. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Add 4 tablespoons butter and cook until the butter is melted.


Fill the oyster shells with the mixture, and spirnkle the remaining 1/2 cup of bread crumbs over the top. Top with bacon pieces. To serve, heat the oysters in a 375F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until hot. Serve 6 oysters per portion, and garnish each platter with a lemon wedge.





Serves 6.








SHRIMP UGGIE











Marinade:


1-1/2 cups olive oil (not extra-virgin)


1/2 cup ketchup


2 to 3 tablespoons Melinda's habanero hot sauce (XXX, the hottest one they make; I guarantee the dish will be too mild without it, although you may substitute if you're a pepper wimp)


1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice


1 tablespoon salt


2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes


1 teaspoon sweet paprika


1 green bell pepper, stemmed, cored, seeded and cut into 1'; pieces


1 small red onion, peeled and chopped


1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley





2 pounds medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined, with tail left on (optional)


3 medium red-skinned potatoes, cut into 1'; cubes and boiled until just tender


4 chives, finely chopped


Place all ingredients except the shrimp, potatoes and chives into a glass bowl and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator for at least two days, up to one week (the longer the better, so that the flavors will have more time to marry and intensify), stirring occasionally. Let the marinade come to room temperature before preparing the dish.


Using a large spoon, skim off almost all of the oil from the top of the marinade. (You can either discard it or use it for a basting sauce or any other use you can think of.) Put the marinade into a large skillet, then add the shrimp. Cook over medium heat just until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes, then turn the shrimp, add the potatoes, then cook until the potatoes are heated through, about 2 to 3 more minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.





Split the Shrimp Uggie between four plates (use oval plates if you're striving for restaurant authenticity) and sprinkle with chopped chives. Usual garnish is a wedge of lemon and a sprig of parsley. Have plenty of cold beer handy, and watch your guests moan with pleasure.





YIELD: 4 servings.

1 pound crawfish tails, preferably with fat

1 cup bread crumbs

I just typed like 2 pages of Justin Wilson recipes and accidentally hit the clear button. I am not typing that again. Find a Justin Wilson cookbook on the net, he is the quintessential Cajun cook. He's also used to be the best thing on PBS. Find a recipe for Gumbo, Jambalaya, Crawfish Etouffe, Crawfish bisque, and Blackened catfish.Good luck.

Shrimp Gumbo





1. 1 pound smoked sausage, cut into 1/4 inch rounds


2. 1/2 cup vegetable oil


3. 1 (4 pound) chicken, cut into parts


4. 2/3 cup all-purpose flour


5. 2 cups chopped onion


6. 1/2 cup chopped green onions


7. 2/3 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped


8. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley


9. 1 tablespoon minced garlic


10. 2 pounds medium shrimp - peeled and devined


11. 8 cups water


12. salt to taste


13. ground black pepper to taste


14. 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper


15. 1 teaspoon dried thyme


16. 2 bay leaves


17. file powder





1. In a medium skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat. Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels to remove some of the fat. Discard fat in pan.


2. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over high heat. Brown chicken pieces in hot oil. Turn frequently until golden brown on all sides. Transfer chicken to a dish, leaving oil in pan. Set chicken aside, but keep warm.


3. Make a roux by whisking flour into the hot vegetable oil. Turn heat down to low. Continue cooking flour and oil mixture, stirring constantly, until it reaches a dark brown color. This may take 30 to 45 minutes; the darker the roux, the better the final gumbo.


4. When the roux is a dark brown color, quickly add the sausage, onion, green onion tops, green pepper, parsley, and garlic. Cook over low heat until the vegetables are wilted, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.


5. Stir in 2 cups water and spices. Add chicken parts. Add rest of the water slowly. Bring mixture to a boil, and reduce heat. Simmer for about 45 minutes, until chicken is done and tender.


6. Remove chicken pieces, and save for another use. Add shrimp to gumbo; cook for about 8 to 10 minutes more. Remove bay leaves. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Serve gumbo in deep bowls. Sprinkle file powder over individual servings, and stir in.A good cajun/creole recipe for mardi gras?

Red Beans and Rice





Ingredients


1 pound dried red beans, rinsed and sorted over (or 3 15 oz cans)


3 tablespoons bacon grease


1/4 cup chopped tasso, or chopped ham


1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions


3/4 cup chopped celery


3/4 cup chopped green bell peppers


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Pinch cayenne


3 bay leaves


2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley


2 teaspoons fresh thyme


1/2 pound smoked sausage, split in half lengthwise and cut into 1-inch pieces


1 pound smoked ham hocks


3 tablespoons chopped garlic


10 cups chicken stock, or water


4 cups cooked white rice


1/4 cup chopped green onions, garnish


Directions


Place the beans in a large bowl or pot and cover with water by 2 inches. Let soak for 8 hours or overnight. Drain and set aside. If using canned beans, skip this step.





In a large pot, heat the bacon grease over medium-high heat. Add the tasso and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the onions, celery and bell peppers to the grease in the pot. Season with the salt, pepper, and cayenne, and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, about 4 minutes. Add the bay leaves, parsley, thyme, sausage, and ham hocks, and cook, stirring, to brown the sausage and ham hocks, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the beans and stock or water, stir well, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender and starting to thicken, about 2 hours. (Should the beans become too thick and dry, add more water, about 1/4 cup at a time.) If using canned beans, cook about 1 hour.





Remove from the heat and with the back of a heavy spoon, mash about 1/4 of the beans against the side of the pot. Continue to cook until the beans are tender and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and remove the bay leaves.





Serve over rice and garnish with green onions.
Although there are few animals safe from a cajun,a pot of squirrel and black gravy is a favorite.Add red beans and rice with cornbread and you have a winner.

    Heat large cast iron skillet over very high heat until it is beyond the smoking stage. Combine seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl. Rub mix into chicken on both sides and coat well. Sear on both sides until almost done (may leave center a little pink - it'll cook in sauce). Cut up chicken across grain and add to hot sauce along with green onions. Stir until done (15-20 minutes).


    Serving suggestion: Serve over curly pasta that is buttered and mixed with Parmesan cheese. Top with more green onions, diced fresh tomatoes and diced black olives.Creamy Cajun Spicy sauce recipe needed!!?

    Pork Tenderloin with Dijon Cream





    Serves: 2


    Prep time: 15 min Cook time: 15 min





    1# pork tenderloin, cut into 2'; slices


    Seasoned flour


    2 Tbsp. butter, divided


    2 tsp. canola or olive oil


    Sauce:


    2 green onions, sliced (coin shape), white and green parts separated


    1/3 cup white wine or dry vermouth


    1/2 cup heavy cream


    1 tsp. Dijon mustard (or more to taste)


    salt and pepper to taste





    Preheat oven to low, about 170 degrees.





    Lightly pound pork medallions to 1'; thick.





    Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 tsp. oil over medium high heat.





    Dredge pork in seasoned flour. Add all at once to pan and saute 2 minutes per side.





    Remove to a plate and hold in the oven while finishing the sauce. (pork will be a bit underdone but will finish in the oven.)





    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to pan. Add white part of onion, saute for 1 minute. Add wine or vermouth, simmer until syrupy and reduced to about 3 tablespoons. Add cream, simmer 2 - 3 minutes until thickened.*





    Stir in Dijon, add salt and pepper to taste.





    Return pork to pan to coat with sauce. Serve over rice or pasta, garnishing with the green part of the onion.





    *If sauce ends up too thick, add 录 cup or less of water or milk.





    ** you can double the sauce ingredients so there is enough to pour over white or brown rice


    ----------------------------------
    I've made similar dishes many times. Blacken the pork in your pan, then simply add a few ounces of heavy cream. The cream will absorb all the flavors and color from the pan. The longer you cook it, the thicker and more concentrated it will get. This is just like the pan sauce for a steak au poivre.
    This ones the easiest one in the world , reduce your heavy cream and some blackening seasoning in a large pot , it will tend foam up fast when it comes to a boil so using a large pot , say a 2-3 gallon pot to a quart of cream. When its close to being finished reducing the bubble will get very large around the side of the pot,watch close.If you reduce too much add a little more creamThickness is a personal preference and can be adjusted with fresh cream before serving.Good luck

    I need a good home-cookin recipe so I can use some cajun seasoning I bought recently. I AM A VEGETARIAN





    Also, what's the difference between cajun seasoning %26amp; creole seasoning anyway?Recipe with Cajun seasoning needed?
    you could make a vegetarian jambalaya. saute onion and garlic, then add vegetable broth, a can each of black beans (drained) corn (drained) and diced tomatoes (undrained) and your spices ( i always use thyme, pepper flakes, cumin, salt and pepper..sometimes paprika...i don't know what is in cajun seasoning, but i'm sure you could look the two up on a recipe website, like allrecipes.com). and to all of that you add a cup or two of rice, depending on how much broth you've used. i use a mixture of quinoa and brown rice if i have it on hand and that is really really good!


    let it boil, turn it to low, cover and let it cook until the liquid is almost gone, uncover and cook about 5-10 mins more, stirring it just a couple of times. and there you have it. Recipe with Cajun seasoning needed?
    I hope this helps.





    Cajun cuisine is sometimes confused with Creole cuisine, and many outside of Louisiana don't make the distinction. Creole is more city 鈥?urban, cosmopolitan, and inspired by the French, Spanish, African, and Italian influences of New Orleans 鈥?while Cajun dishes have more of a French influence, filtered through common (to Louisiana) ingredients and techniques. This matter is complicated by the sharing of several dishes between the cuisines, including gumbo, gumbo z'herbes (a vegetarian gumbo), seafood 脿 l'茅touff茅e, and jambalaya, although New Orleans jambalaya and gumbo are prepared differently from their Cajun counterparts.








    As for a good home cooking meal do some vegetarian gumbo.

    Chicken Fricassee


    http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/vi鈥?/a>


    5-6 lbs of Chicken or Legs and Thigh Quarters


    For browning the chicken:


    1 Cup Flour seasoned with:


    2 Tbsp Kosher Salt


    A few turns of Black Pepper


    A healthy pinch of Cayenne


    For the Fricassee:


    1 Cup Lard (home rendered), Bacon Drippings, Duck Fat or Vegetable Oil (if you must)


    3/4 Cup Flour


    2 Cups Onion, diced


    1/4 Cup Celery, sliced


    1/2 Cup Green Bell Pepper, chopped


    2 Tbsp Garlic, finely chopped


    1/2 Cup Dry White Wine


    1 Quart Chicken Stock, preferably homemade


    1 Bay Leaf


    1 Bundle of Fresh Thyme, tied together with butcher鈥檚 twine


    Kosher Salt, Black Pepper, Cayenne to taste


    1 Tbsp Hot sauce


    1/2 Cup Green Onions, thinly sliced


    1 pot of cooked long grain rice


    Heat the lard/oil, or whichever fat you chose to use, over medium high heat until a small sprinkle of flour quickly sizzles when tossed in. While the fat is heating mix together the flour, salt, black pepper and cayenne, dredge the chicken in the mixture and shake off any excess, set aside on a plate.


    When the fat is hot, brown the chicken until golden on both sides, do not cook all the way through, set aside.


    Mix together the onions, celery, and bell pepper (holy trinity) in a small bowl.


    When the chicken is browned and set aside, pour off 1/2 cup of the fat, leaving about 1/2 cup of it in the pan. Over medium low heat, gradually whisk in the 3/4 cup of flour until incorporated and slightly thick, stir constantly until a roux the color of milk chocolate is achieved, the darker it is the more intense the flavor, then stir in 3/4 of the holy trinity and a pinch of Kosher salt, turn the heat to low and cook for 8-10 minutes more, stirring slowly but constantly.


    Add the white wine and increase the heat to medium, cook 5 minutes more. Whisk in the chicken stock very gradually to avoid lumps. When it is all incorporated bring the mixture to a full boil to bring the flour to it鈥檚 full thickening power, then reduce the sauce to medium low. Stir in the remaining trinity, garlic, bay leaf, bundled thyme, Worcestershire, hot sauce, and season to taste with salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Submerge the chicken in the sauce cover and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours or until falling off of the bone tender. Remove the bundled Thyme and Bay leaf. Adjust the seasonings if necessary.


    Serve the chicken with Rice, and a generous portion of the sauce topped with Green Onions.


    If you like, the sauce or gravy for this dish could be finished with heavy cream, sour cream, or creme fraiche. This would also go great with dumplings to replace the rice.Serves 4.

    Cajun Chicken Alfredo - Guy Fieri


    4 (5-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts


    1 cup blackening spice (recommended: Paul Prudhomme's Chicken)


    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil


    3 tablespoons minced garlic


    1 cup roughly chopped marinated sun-dried tomatoes

    3/4 cup grated Parmesan

    CAJUN RECIPE PLEASE?

    Does anyone have a good cajun recipe that you have tried and liked?


    I want to fix something spicy, quick and easy for my girl.


    CAJUN RECIPE PLEASE?
    About the fastest and easiest, is to get a package of Zatarain's rice mix (near the Rice-a-Roni). I like the Jambalaya or the Red Beans %26amp; Rice. You can add spicy sausage to it (Andouille is best), or crawfish. There are suggestions on the packages for authentic add-ins. While you're at the store, get a container of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. I use it on everything! (spice aisle)CAJUN RECIPE PLEASE?
    Here's a link that should give you some ideas:


    http://www.recipezaar.com/recipes/cajun
    Dirty Rice





    You need


    Hamburger


    Kielbasa


    Green Pepper


    Onion


    Rice


    Cajun Seasoning


    Pepper





    In a skillet add a small amount of oil and brown your hamburger and chopped Kelbasa


    Dice your green peppers and Onion and add to mixture. Add seasonings to taste





    Cook rice, following the directions and when cooked, drain and add to hamburger mixture. Cook together over heat until combined






    This one is for the BBQ, the one below is not. They are both recipes my friends have begged me for and my familiy always request for me to make. The self rising flour is necessary for a really good coating for the second recipe. If you want really good fried chicken you should always use it.








    Spicy Cajun Grilled Shrimp, Fish, Pork, or Chicken





    1/3 cup soy sauce or Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade


    ½ cup virgin olive oil


    1 to 5 tbs cajun seasoning mix (without salt), depending on how hot you like it


    ¼ cup sesame oil


    ¼ cup fresh lemon juice


    2 tbs fresh ginger


    2 tsp dry mustard


    2 tsp Tabasco


    32 large fresh uncooked shrimp (no shells, with or without tails and de-veined)


    Bamboo skewers (1 for about 5 shrimp)





    Add shrimp to marinade for 20-30 minutes. Soak skewers in water. When shrimp is ready put on skewers and barbeque on high heat for about 2 minutes per side.








    This is an excellent marinade for fish and chicken, you can cook whole and omit the skewers and grill or make kabobs.











    Cajun Fried Chicken or Pork





    4-5 boneless chicken breasts, boneless pork chops


    1 cup of self-rising flour, unsifted


    1 tsp garlic salt


    1 tsp cayenne pepper


    1tbs Dijon mustard


    1/3 cup Tabasco


    ¼ cup water


    1 – 1 ½ cups oil, for frying





    Combine cayenne pepper, mustard, Tabasco, and water in plastic container or gallon size zip lock bag. If you pierce chicken with a fork first it will be a lot spicier (don’t do this unless you like it HOT!). Place chicken in marinade, turning to coat well. Marinate for no more than 1 hour, turning frequently.





    Combine self-rising flour and garlic salt in a plastic bag or container. Add chicken to coat, one at a time is best. I use tongs so my hands don’t get messy.





    Heat vegetable oil in large skillet on medium high heat.





    Fry chicken pieces, turning once, for about 15-20 minutes total. Remove from pan immediately and keep warm. If you use regular pieces of chicken, with bone in, cook for at least 30-45 minutes, or until done.





    Serving Suggestions:


    Garlic flavored pasta or garlic mashed potatoes and green beans or broccoli.

    Authentic Louisiana Red Beans and Rice --








    INGREDIENTS


    1 pound dry kidney beans


    1/4 cup olive oil


    1 large onion, chopped


    1 green bell pepper, chopped


    2 tablespoons minced garlic


    2 stalks celery, chopped


    6 cups water


    2 bay leaves


    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper


    1 teaspoon dried thyme


    1/4 teaspoon dried sage

    Rinse beans, and transfer to a large pot with 6 cups water. Stir cooked vegetables into beans. Season with bay leaves, cayenne pepper, thyme, sage, parsley, and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 2 1/2 hours.

    Sugar Pie’s Chicken %26amp; Sausage Gumbo





    ½ cup A/P flour


    ½ cup veg. oil


    1 whole cut up chicken, breasts cut in half, or 8 of your favorite chicken parts


    2 cups chopped onion (about 2 small)


    2 cups chopped celery (about 5 ribs)


    ¼ of a bellpepper, chopped (I like red for color, %26amp; less bitter than green)


    5-6 garlic cloves, sliced


    1 lb. smoked sausage or andouille (AHN-dewey), sliced


    1 (14 oz.) can petite diced tomatoes, w/ juice


    8 cups chicken stock


    2 bay leaves


    2 Tbsp. Tony Chachere’s (less if chicken stock is salty)


    Salt and Black pepper to taste


    Handful of chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley





    For Seafood Gumbo:


    omit chicken


    2 lbs. peeled, raw shrimp


    1 lb. crabmeat (optional)


    ½ tsp. Zatarain’s crab boil liquid seasoning





    1. Start by making a roux. In a big, heavy Dutch oven, add flour and oil to pot and set over medium heat. With a flat-bottomed spoon, stir roux, scraping the bottom clean with eat motion. Slowly, the flour will begin to darken. You can smell it caramelizing. Slowly take it to the color of milk chocolate for best flavor, or at least dark caramel. Stir almost constantly or it will burn, especially once the darkening has begun.


    2. When your roux reaches the right color, add chicken pieces skin side down. Turn heat up to med-high or even high, depending upon your stove. The goal right now is to brown the chicken well, not cook them through. If they will not all easily fit in the bottom of the Dutch oven, brown them in 2 batches. Remove browned chicken to plate; set aside.


    3. Add sliced sausage or andouille to pot, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove to plate w/ chicken.


    4. Add onions, celery, and bellpepper to the roux. Stir well to coat, and cook about 3-5 minutes until wilted. Add garlic, and cook 2-3 minutes more.


    5. Return chicken and sausage to pot, and add tomatoes, chicken stock, bay leaves, Tony Chachere’s, and any additional salt or pepper to suit your taste.


    6. Bring pot of gumbo to a simmer over high heat, then cover w/ lid and reduce heat to low. Stir occasionally and simmer about an hour. Remove lid and stir; simmer another 15 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley just before serving.


    7. To serve, place steamed rice in the bottom of a bowl, and top with a chicken piece and sausage slices and gumbo liquid as desired.





    NOTES:


    ** To make Seafood Gumbo, brown sausage or andouille first, then add veggies to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, stock, bay leaves, Tony Chachere’s, S%26amp;P to taste, and liquid crab boil. Do not add shrimp until last 5 minutes of cooking; the heat of the gumbo will cook the shrimp. Add parsley and crab, if so desired, and serve. (Crab is precooked, so it only needs to be warmed up in the gumbo seconds before serving.)





    ** If the roux burns (you can smell a scorch and it has black flecks in it), throw it out, wash your pot, and start over on a lower heat setting. Keep stirring; most roux is ruined by walking away.





    ** If you are coordinated, you can chop your meat and veggies stove-side while stirring your roux. If not, chop before you begin your roux to give it your full attention.
