 Finally typed up my gumbo recipe for anyone who wants it

first you chop all your veggies and sausage
1lb smoked sausage
1lb andouille if you can get it... take each lb of sausage and cut 1/3 into whole rings, 1/3 into halfs and 1/3 into quarters
this makes a decent pot
2 big yella onions, some small pieces some medium
4 stalks of celery
2 bell peppers
a whole head of garlic
chop some italian parsley and green onions and put them in the fridge for later. chop the okra into 1 inch sections and dispose of the stem end and tip. wash it off first too. set that in the fridge as well.
now take a big heavy bottom pot
add to it 1cup of oil and put it on medium heat. after a minute add 1-1/4 cups of all pourpose flour. stir it in. now lower the heat. you cannot burn this roux at all. keep it moving, fast enough not to stick and burn but slow enough where it cooks. keep the whole thing going. its will darken in color to a coffee type tone after about 30 mins. you cant leave it alone. once you get comfortable making them you can increase the heat and your stirring speed. remember, any black spots or dark brown burn spots you have ruined it. you are trying to make an even coffee colored paste.
once the roux is dark enough, drop in the onions and stir. this will stop it from cooking. then add the bell peps, then the celery. keep it moving and stir to sweat the veggies. bout 10 mins. now add your garlic. cook a few mins more and add 2 qts chicken stock.
in a seperate pan, add your sausage, in batches if required, and brown it for about 10 mins a batch. add that into the main pot with the stock.
then you want to take a pack of boneless chicken thighs, 1.5lbs - 2 lbs or so. use the sausage grease to just brown/sear them on all sides. dont cookem all the way through. leavem in the pan and remove heat.
add 4 tbsp Creole seasoning, 2tbsb ground thyme, 2 large bay leaves, 1tbsp louisiana hot sauce, 1 tbsp cracked black pepper, 3tbsp of worcestershire and stir it in. youll need to learn to adjust the seasoning ammounts to make it taste like a good spicy gumbo but not overbearing. i dont actually measure any of this.
now add your chicken, fill the rest of the pot with water, and bring to a boil.
once its boiling, add the okra. cook down about 2 hours or until any roux taste is gone. an oil layer will form on the top which you must skim off. this is all the fat from the stock and the chicken and the sausage and it will fuck the taste. once it hardy produces more oil, you are done. make sure to use a heavy bottom pot so it doesnt stick. Keep it covered and dont turn it up to high when cooking down. You may need to add another cup or 2 of stock and water if it all boils out. also the chicken should be nicely shredded and broken into smaller pieces.
if you want to use seafood, add peeled crawfish or shrimp or raw oysters or whatever about 15 mins before its done cooking and let them simmer in.
some people use who crabs and shrimp in the shells but I dont. they have certain crabs we call gumbo crabs
and thats about how i make gumbo.
serve with a pile of rice on top in a shallow bowl, and garnish with green onions chopped and italian parsley. you may also offer Filé powder with it. Never add the Filé powder while its on heat, instead offer it at the table, as the heat makes it get stringy.
ingredients
2 cans stewed tomatoes
3 tbsp worcestershire
Louisiana Hot Sauce
Creole Seasoning
Thyme
Black Pepper
Bay Leaf
2 large yellow Onions
2 Bell Peps
4 stalks Celery
Bunch Italian Parsley
Bunch Green Onions
2-3 cups washed chopped okra
2lbs high quality smoked pork sausage(preferably andouille for at least half)
2lbs boneless chicken thighs
Seafood if desired
Cup and a quarter of flour
cup of oil

if you need creole season, check for a cajun spice section near the spices or regional foods at your grocery
tony chatcheres and zatarains are good brands.

theres okra. this aint file gumbo. but at the end, once the gumbo is served, its nice to offer file powder on the table. if you add it when the heat is still on, it gets stringy.
