Does Anybody Have A Good Chicken Gumbo Recipe?

[TriticusToxicum]

I just saw the Okra episode of "Good Eats" and it reminded me of the Chicken Gumbo i used to get a a little bagel shop in Kinderhook, NY. It was really spicy, with okra, jalepenos, and even a smattering of lentils along with the chicken (duh).

Does anybody have a gumbo recipe along these lines?

Or just a really good recipe for chicken gumbo?

Thanks in advance!

Richard, I don't know if my style of soup making would work for you ... I boil the chicken with celery, onion, and carrots. I take the chicken and celery sticks out, debone the chicken and put it back in. Then I just add to it whatever spices, and ingredients I want it to have, and let it simmer. You have to have a familiarity with the flavor of seasonings, but it doesn't keep you limited in your soups ... every time is different!

Here's one...

Chicken Gumbo

1 cut up chicken

7 oz turkey sausage

1 cup chopped onions

1 cup chopped bell pepper

1/4 cup parsley

12 cups water

5 tbs roux

3 tbs cooking oil

Season salt (to taste)

Black pepper (to taste)

1 cup gluten free flour

Roux:

Place gluten free flour into cast iron skillet and cook over medium heat. Stir constantly, until flour is a dark brown.

Season chicken on both sides. Put cooking oil on bottom of iron pot. Brown chicken on both sides at medium heat. Take chicken pieces out of pot when browned and set aside. Drain cooking oil from pot leaving very little to coat the bottom. Add onions and bell pepper to pot and cook until onions appear clear. Add chicken pieces back to the pot along with the sausage, roux, parsley, and water. Add the season salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for 1 hour.

You can adjust anything you need to... hope this helps.

This looks delicious - thanks!
