What is Gumbo?

A dish originating from Louisiana, this hearty stew is typically made with a combination of meat and seafood, vegetables, and a delicious broth. It contains herbs and spices characteristic of Cajun and Creole cuisine, and is often made for big events such as Mardi Gras. It is a dish that is part of the culinary heritage of New Orleans, but has now become popular around the world! Gumbo is also often made with seafood like in this shrimp and chorizo New Orleans Gumbo.

Beef Gravy

Traditional Gumbo is made with a roux, which is a mixture of flour and fat that thickens the dish, but Beef Gravy accomplishes a similar texture. To keep things easy and simple, this recipe calls for a premade can of beef gravy; however, if you have the time, making your own only takes a few extra steps! All you need is butter, all-purpose flour, beef broth and salt and pepper! Melt the butter, then add the flour until lightly browned. Next add the beef broth and boil until thickened and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Andouille Sausage

Originating from France, Andouille sausage is a chunkier sausage made from pork shoulder and is heavily smoked for a distinctive flavor and aroma. Louisiana cuisine adopted the sausage to their own flavors by blending in seasonings such as paprika, garlic and chili powder. Gumbo is often made with a variety of protein, sausage being one of the most popular additions. Have extra Andouille? Prepare another irresistible Louisiana-syle Bayou Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya.

Choosing a Chicken?

This recipe calls for shredded rotisserie chicken, which is best for quick and easy use. You can typically find pre-made whole rotisserie chickens at the grocery store, or a package of pre-shredded chicken if you do not want that much. If you have the extra time, get some boneless and skinless breasts and cook them in stock for about an hour. Once done, shred with a fork and add it to your gumbo!
