Gumbo Recipe.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
1 pound chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 can (14 ounces)diced tomatoes
4 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon gumbo file powder (optional)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Recipe Instructions:

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the flour and stir continuously to make a roux. Cook the roux, stirring frequently, until it turns a deep brown color, about 15-20 minutes.
Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the sliced sausage, chicken thighs, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, gumbo file powder (if using), paprika, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the gumbo simmer, uncovered, for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Taste the gumbo and adjust the seasoning as needed.
