As a Cajun myself, and gumbo maker, I must comment that this is one of the best gumbo explanations I have encountered. Good job! I do use a modification, instead of spending 1+ hours browning my roux on the stove, I use the microwave at half power, with frequent stirring, to make a nice, chocolate-colored roux in about 15 minutes. And it always turns out great! Plus, if you can get andouille from Jacob's in Laplace, it is the best.

[@ntfrst]

Thanks. I was using the oven to darken my roux. Still takes a lot longer than yours.

[@txmike1945]

@@ntfrst Plus with the microwave you don't have to heat up the house with an oven! I use 1 cup flour and 3/4 cup corn oil. Been doing it that way for years and never had a bad batch.

[@nicolemclaughlin9844]

Thank you! And great tip!

[@txmike1945]

Microwave roux. First, I want to say this video is one of the best I have watched on the subject. I have been making gumbo for years and use the microwave for the roux. Remember, the gumbo doesn't care how you make the roux, only that it is good. Using the normal flour/oil ratio (I use corn oil) I stir it up in a microwave safe casserole dish, I cook it on 50% power and stir it about every minute to distribute the browning evenly. After about 12 to 15 minutes of this, the roux is a nice chocolate-brown color and in the finished gumbo tastes great.

[@nicolemclaughlin9844]

[@txmike1945]

It is 'roux', and if you do it in the microwave you only have to attend to it for 12 to 15 minutes.

Lady! I’m dunking bread and slurping up this gumbo as I type this! I love your secrets! I really don’t have anything to compare it to because I think when I was a kid I had it once in a diner in New Jersey. And it was from a can… don’t judge. I too am Italian with a smattering of French, Albanian and Sicilian, so I treat this like sauce and build flavor! I’m gonna take your word for it. And adopt this as my go to recipe for Gumbo! Love your content! Love your vibe! Get cookin y’all!

Married a Cajun. We do gumbo every year for Christmas dinner, which was strange for me at first, but now I love it. Definitely have to eat it with potato salad and rice.

[@rojifisher6321]

I just made this gumbo and my Texan husband who had family reunions in Louisiana as a kid absolutely loved this. So much that it brought him to tears. Thank you for another amazing recipe. This one is definitely going to be on the rotation.

[@KajunNinja]

Thank you for making a pot of Gumbo that any cajun would be proud to eat. I get sad from seeing all these food influencers and use to be chefs try making what they think is a gumbo and they miss the mark or they cut corners. Your Gumbo looks amazing and I bet it taste amazing.❤❤❤

[@nicolemclaughlin9844]

Thank you!!

[@sandrarhorer6184]

I have been checking you out for years. First time I looked up to see if you made gumbo. I do my sausage the same way. I think it adds another layer of flavoring. I also bake my thighs, but I also bake my okra and it’s cooked and ready to go in at the end. Grew up in Pointe Coupee Parish 50 miles north of Baton Rouge and we put rice in our gumbo with a scoop of potato salad also. Enjoy watching your videos so much, you keep it real.❤️👏🤗

[@bellarosa70032]

This is a great step by step process for gumbo. As a Cajun from outside of New Orleans, the only different things that I do is lose the thyme, and I precook my okra before adding it to the gumbo. There's a lot less slime that way.

[@TheChristinaJo]

I made this for supper! My first time making gumbo from scratch! It was awesome! Thank you!

[@BarefootFarm]

We also brown up our andouille before adding the oil for the roux. We grill our chicken thighs seasoned with blackening seasoning on a charcoal grill and then shred the meat for the gumbo, so good! We just went to Lafayette over Spring Break and tried potato salad with our gumbo and I was shook! It was so good! 😂

GREAT JOB! This is exactly how I make mine down at da camp, minus the okra. Although, I do use okra in my seafood gumbo. I smoke 4 of the thighs with post oak sometimes and it adds a whole new dimension.

[@warriorchieftain7585]

I was born and raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana, just about 25 to 30 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico. I don't put okra in my gumbo but I do eat a little rice AND a scoop of potato salad in the gumbo. That's how we do it in Lake Chuck! 😊

[@andrewaway]

Fabulous. I love gumbo, especially the okra. I usually add shrimps to mine. Thanks.

[@harlanfreeze6002]

I personally would have grilled my chicken with my sausage to get char flavor on both. Get some color on your chicken then bake it. But, otherwise, sheer perfection. Your kids are beyond blessed to have a super chef like you. I shared your channel with my niece in Raceland, La. We are are mutt Cajuns, like most everyone else in this melting pot called USA. So, welcome. We need the mostly always sunny Italians to keep us our own mostly happy selves. Well, later, later. I pray your channel much success. And who knows where it will branch out into. Ps. Hi from Houma, Louisiana.

[@belindaduke6684]

In the process of making this now. My house smells aaaahmaaaazing! I totally agree about the okra - it’s just not gumbo without it! I’ll let you know how it turns out.

[@nicolemclaughlin9844]

Please do!!!

[@smilesrawesome2240]

My ex co worker LOVES the chicken gumbo, but I usually just order it offline. They haven’t had in awhile and I want to learn how to make it. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Can’t wait to try it out. 😊😊

[@RJGJR]

The POPE! Not very many people know that! If you want a most awesome smoked sausage try some Conecuh sausage. It is made in Ala. and it is soooooo good! You can find it in most southern grocery stores from NOLA to Florida. I have moved back home to Texas and I can't get it here so I have to order it by the case. It is expensive that way but I find it is essential when I need sausage when I cook.

[@txmike1945]

Or, in Texas you can get good smoked pork sausage at Market Basket in Winnie or several locations in the Beaumont and Port Arthur areas. They also ship for those not within driving distance. I've used their sausage for gumbo and red beans, and it is excellent.

[@RJGJR]

@@txmike1945 That would have to be some mighty good sausage! Since I have not tasted any that comes close to Conecuh I will have to take your word for it, but until such time I will still say that Conecuh is the absolute best!

[@karensupplee1726]

There is a butcher shop in Erie, Pennsylvania, that makes their own andouille. I use it in my Tuscan bean soup. It is delish. I will have to try this gumbo. It looks really good.

[@sherrywilliams409]

My secret to making gumbo is to make it in the microwave. You would not believe that it makes a very very good sausage and chicken gumbo. All ingredients just as you mentioned minus the okra. Only difference is the cooking method is the microwave. Once everything is cooked I put it all together in a stockpot and simmer it all day. People who eat this gumbo can’t wait to get this recipe. Which was given to me by a true Cajun. I’ll take a picture of the recipe and email it to you. I promise it’s so delicious!!

Hi Nicole amazing looking gumbo I do something weird with my gumbo from time to time don't remember anybody else doing this, 15 are 20 minutes before it's done play Craig about 6 eggs and let them go to the bottom leave them alone for 5 minutes then you unstick them from the bottom of the pot and they float up cooked and they kind of take on the flavor of the gumbo I don't remember where I got that from I've been doing them like that so long keep putting out the great videos have a nice day

Can you swap out the cup of veg oil in the roux for a cup of butter or lard? Would that be acceptable?

It would but butter burns more easily. I wouldn't do it for a roux. Good old corn oil is great.

[@scottsmith8545]

[@kyoung2918]

FrugalFitMom does her roux in the oven. Her mom is from Louisiana and that's how she does it. Toss the whole pot in the oven and stir it every 15 minutes. But just leave it in there till it's the darkness you want.

[@deannarichie7487]

[@Cinedos]

Do you take the casing off of the sausage, or leave it on? Also, if one doesn’t have fresh okra can you use frozen okra?

[@allrecipes]

in this case, the casing was on. We will check with Nicole about frozen okra!

[@monicareno4088]

I use frozen okra and it comes out perfect. I do sauté my okra before adding it to my gumbo though. It draws out the slime which is what helps to thicken the gumbo. It’s just how my family has always done it.

[@nicolemclaughlin9844]

I leave the casing on unless it’s really thick. And YES frozen okra is totally fine!

[@johnparnell9488]

Wild rice? Appears to be long grain white rice. Note that this does not bother anybody else. You're golden.

[@dougcreitz6694]

Toast the flour in the oven on a sheet pan at 400 for about 45 min. It eliminates all the extra oil and creates a very good flavor

Cajuns are French Canadian descendants, exiled from Nova Scotia. Creole is a mix of mixed colonial French, African American and Native American ancestry. Need more? Do a web search.

Gumbo is a short-term for an African word that means okra. My people in Louisiana put the okra in last so it won't be slimy. If you make gumbo without okra, you don't have gumbo.
