Lazy Man's Gumbo

[@drk321]

Correct me if I'm wrong but this recipe doesn't take all that much less time than making gumbo the traditional way with all natural homemade ingredients (instead of prefab seasonings etc..).

[@Genesis2churchUs119]

Jack, let me add that you Should taste everything in the pot at the same time, a blend of flavor that makes your tastebuds JUMP for joy is what you should have. You should taste everything in that pot at one time. Cajun food is NOT about how hot from pepper a food is but rather that you experience all the flavors at once. Again, it is not about setting your mouth on fire and only tasting pepper, it is about a dance of all the ingredients in the pot.

[@cdhanks]

I was born in La. and my mom cooked gumbo often. She made her own roux, never from a jar. Takes 25-30 min. to make proper roux. This is more like a stew than gumbo. The only veggies that belong in gumbo is onions and okra, not all those other veggies. To see the right way to make roux check Charlie Andrews video on how to make it.

[@jplauche]

Jarred Roux is fine. I have cooked gumbo with every roux making way possible...and you can not tell the difference.

[@carlawalters671]

Not true celery is used in gumbo

[@MikeAllgood]

Couple of things I do for my "lazy man's" gumbo - I use Tony Chachere's instant Roux, as well as the creole seasoning. Thomas Ragin’ Cajun Smoked Andouille Sausage is too hot for many - I use their medium - It's got the green label. Lastly, I add sliced okra for a thicker gumbo - after all, gumbo is the African word for okra. For me, I keep Frank's Red-Hot on the table for anyone who needs more spice. Try your recipe with some crawfish tails - you can find them in a pound pack in the seafood freezer of your local Kroger. Defrost them and toss them in during the last 10 mins of cooking. Use them instead of, or along with the chicken!

[@ReedBetweenTheLines]

I almost skipped this video when I saw it was a gumbo recipe because I don't have the patience to make a rioux. So glad I noticed the words, "lazy man's". I am soooo going to try this!

[@mikel6989]

it takes less than 15 mins to make a roux....

[@dwdrum1]

Cool recipe and couple. I'll try this for sure. Jack, as a "Thank you" can you please send them a couple of cutting boards and a large pan. Feel kinda bad that they don't have the proper tools.

[@roberthrodebert9263]

She loves the sodium, he loves the spice. I love those guys!

[@Cliptix]

That is an interesting version. If you bake roux it is easy. You just stir 3 or 4 times and that is it. I've never had a powdered roux. lol Where is the Okra? lol If you get a chance, try an order of Beignets from Cafe Du Monde and a cafe au lait. Phenomenal!

[@smoothieking157]

I live in New Orleans, Cafe Du Monde has the best beignets ever. you can actually buy Cafe Du Monde's beignet mix in a box along with their coffee to make at home. Thats the easiest way. Im not sure if its available online but down here you can buy the mix at walmart

[@latranquilagr28]

So true Cafe' du Monde is the best, I'm in Texas so the only way I get my fix the easy way is to get the mix, but there is no place like home

[@gotfoodstamps]

That was the most boring gumbo I ever seen on youtube

[@andrewwissingthetrucker5236]

beignets and cafe Au lait are great. good grocery stores up north have the cafe du mond coffee and usually beignet mix. just read the directions on how to make the cafe Au lait, it's not just coffee.

[@tracylg13]

Ive been to Ralph and Kacoo's , great gumbo! Gonna try this recipe soon. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffxl12]

Yes it is always good to see how others cook. Great video Jack

[@celestedanos179]

but also, you need to try homemade Okra Seafood Gumbo made by the elders dtb in Louisiana (down the bayou) NO LIE the best Cajun food you'll ever taste (see what I did there? ha)

[@HurricaneMelissa25]

He sounds like Forest Gump. )

[@UncommonSituations]

Not at all

[@ZeliardFTW]

+HurricaneMelissa25 Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what ya gonna get....

[@CrazyClawGames]

Omggg yess

[@michelleguidry999]

I'm from Louisiana and Cajun cooking is my speciality. However, this looks like a very bland gumbo. I am known for my gumbo and there is a certain way to do it and way more seasoning then just a touch of Tony's which is mainly salt.

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Cajuns are creoles, plus there are all kinds of folks that are not Cajun in Louisiana that contributed to south Louisiana cuisine so it’s all just creole cooking.

[@wizardmoose7002]

I'm from sulphur Louisiana (close to the southwestern border) and I've been to New Orleans and had beignets at cafe du monde and they are great

[@wizardmoose7002]

Also with Tony's it is also very salty, I would recommend finding a holleir's restaurant and getting their seasoning, they have all types from Cajun to wild game

[@DemonicDemolition]

Hey just a lil story. I am from South Louisiana, I had a couple Food Businesses. One day 2 men walk in, one an elderly man. They kinda looking around and the younger says do you have some Tony Chachere's Seasoning. I was out at time. He then points to older gentleman and says let me introduce you to Mr. Tony Chachere himself. The truth of the matter, he kinda looks like that character on the container. That was over 25 years ago.

[@IslenoGutierrez]

He’s a white creole. Louisiana French descent.

[@craigpothier]

Love New Orleans. I'm originally from Nova Scotia and if you look at the history of New Orleans, a lot of the French Cajuns in Nola come from Nova Scotia. They were deported by the English in the 1700's. Ask them if they know how to make The Chargrilled Oysters from Acme in the French Quarter

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Most of the Cajuns live west of New Orleans in an area called Acadiana, where it’s main city is Lafayette. In the New Orleans area there are French creoles (white people of Louisiana French descent, the French that were in Louisiana before the Acadians arrived). Cajuns used to be called Acadian creoles before Cajun. Creole in Louisiana means Louisiana colonial descent, meaning before Louisiana became a US state.

[@fluffhead89]

Café du Mon! Went there during my New Orleans trip. The line was really long, but we got six Beñées and orange juice. Beñées are like square, powdered donuts or funnel cakes. So good!

[@ghostsmaniac5227]

*Beignets

[@joseph_b319]

I'm cool with the premade shortcuts but I'll never use margarine over BUTTER.

[@lisaescoto4898]

+joseph burtulato ok then just use ghee no problem

[@drk321]

+Lisa Escoto Ghee isn't any healthier than butter.

[@lisaescoto4898]

drk321 I think you missed the point

[@kathylenberg8177]

I'm from the north (Minnesota) so I have no clue what Beninets are! And there are some of the ingredients I can't get - like that sausage or the spice mix! Always wondered about this kind of food! Sounds good though!

[@joseph_b319]

I dip beignets in gumbo....try it, it is AWESOME.

[@GarrySkipPerkins]

Cafe Du Monde is fun, but keep in mind that they are simply fresh donuts.

[@abj504]

being from New Orleans and worked at Cafe Du Monde it's a decent gumbo that you made. by the way Beignets are super easy to make and there is a lazy way to make it

[@cookingwithjackshow]

+abj504 I'd love to get a lazy man's version. let me know if you want to assist and I will credit you to the recipe. email me at info(at)givemefoods(dot)com and we can talk details. Thanks no matter if you can help or not.

[@latranquilagr28]

+Cooking With Jack Show hey jack a Beignet is a doughnut, there is the cafe' du Monde mix too Walmart has it not sure if they have it in all of them, btw looks like they had the Tony Chachere on the table

[@cookingwithmani3499]

Ooh, never tried making jumbo before. Thanks!

[@ezra9020]

instant roux. wtf?

[@BobbyStelly]

Yeah all that is flour put in a oven to brown. Savoie's and Kary's is the common in Louisiana.

[@Keara20]

I like your shirt, jack.

[@isshun2292]

And that was the last we ever saw of them

[@Eric-yt7fp]

Love the channel, love the recipes. But cooking a roux is not hard; it's flour, butter and milk. -edit- Whoops, nevermind. That's a bechamel. A roux is just flour and butter. Even easier. :P

[@haroldm4946]

why can't I copy/paste from youtube comments anymore.... did they break that too ? Cafe Du Monde is the best. Been there many times as I live only about 1 hrs. drive from New Orleans. also make my own Beignets from scratch... very easy to do.

[@joelkutun3852]

I love the beignets at Café Du Mond. They are great with the chicory coffee.

[@AyeJay91]

This makes me so happy! I live very close to both Ralph and Kacoo's as well as Boutin's!!!!

[@BobbyStelly]

Oh hell yeah I've had a beignet... been to to French Quarters where Cafe Du Monde is on Jackson Square. Born and raised in SW Louisiana Cajun Country. Like they said everyone has there own way of doing there gumbo's but the main thing to remember is to not burn the Roux.

[@nbulick923]

I heart beignets! I had them at Cafe du Monde and some other places in NOLA. I would love a vid on how to make them.

[@abbyfultz1001]

I am eating chicken n' dumplins' right now and my dog is mooching off me!!! LOL! Great recipe and God Bless!

[@grizznatty]

That seems more like a Texas gumbo to me not no Coonass one like Momma makes

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Gumbo is a Louisiana thing, the words Texas and gumbo shouldn’t be in the same sentence

wats beignet?

[@hansshull5009]

love your channel!!! I'm just discovering Cajun cooking. Been Cajun eating since I was a kid but never did the cooking until now.

[@TNdadboy]

I heard you say if anyone would like the recipe for what sounds to me like benyay. Have no idea what that is or how to spell it but I would like to see a show on it

[@WThomas]

I've been to Cafe Du Monde and its okay. The lines are very long however.

[@zoramystic2ify916]

yes would love to see a beignet recipe!

[@latias00latios]

ivr had beignets from cafe du monde in New Orleans :p

[@karlkelley9103]

Tonight's supper...gotta try this recipe!

[@malisarai6516]

That is not a gumbo. Its more like a soup/stew

[@jplauche]

All they need is okra or file'. I have tried this recipe and it makes a pretty good gumbo.

[@johannstrauss1049]

@@jplauche its not gumbo

[@koukilfs7814]

Can you do more stuff about rice?

[@1GEM4U]

Should've used a cutting board to cut the sausage. You don't know who or what has touched the outside of that package. That was nasty!

[@jplauche]

Does not matter...sausage is cooked and it was put in a pot of boiling liquid.

[@jplauche]

Does not matter...sausage is cooked and it was put in a pot of boiling liquid.

[@1GEM4U]

It does matter when you're prepping food on a video. Shows how you really are in the kitchen...but carry on

[@jplauche]

It shows a good way not to clean a cutting board. Another short cut.

[@1GEM4U]

Jody Plauche ok lol

[@latranquilagr28]

"Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans" Jack I miss our food the most hard to get home these days, nice lazy man recipe this usually takes hours to make.

[@lorviper]

Could you make a lazy mans PHO soup with beef?

[@doughebert4116]

i,m from south louisiana and i promise you thats not how we make gumbo

[@lorviper]

Maybe lazy mans hot pot?

[@moonman6904]

"actually im going to use the same pan" I got mad over these. I bet she has no idea of what she is doing....

[@Hawker5796]

Cool vid Jack! Was the gumbo hot enough for you? LOL!

[@bryanbartlett5715]

I've done even lazier gumbo than that. I'll buy the cans of Expresso Gumbo (lame) and doctor it up with sausage, chicken and even shrimp. Served with a big heel of crusty French bread....not bad. And EXTREMELY lazy.

[@808foodlover]

Awesome vid! Would love to see a lazy mans Shrimp Etouffee.

[@sunarrowsunarrow2000]

hey Jack awesome video man and also if a benya is what I think it is then I had one one time at a time. Thing in Vincennes Indiana called the muster on the Wabash and it's like a French donut but kind of flattened out if I remember right sprinkled with a little powdered sugar and they're very good although I prefer fry bread and honey with cinnamon on it and also it would be cool to see you try some Cajun cooking once in awhile to you know but you know which way I like what you do keep it up and may God bless

[@shavaughn1980]

[@AngelomarottaTV]

Who are the guy's?

[@RABthefirst]

Listening to their favorite places to get gumbo, I say they passed until she couldn't make a real roux. FOR SHAME! :) For the record, my duck and andouille gumbo is the best. Just saying. And this lives up to the name. LAZY. I'd still try it. :) Best beignets in New Orleans is actually from Cafe Beignet but Cafe DuMonde is a nice place for people watching and getting powdered sugar all over your clothes. P.S. Jack. You can TOTALLY get too much of Tony's. That crap is 90% salt.

[@bleepnsheep2310]

+Bobby B Roux mix. Yeah lazy is the word. LOL.

[@roberttreadaway7853]

Wrong wrong and wrong. For one what is he sautéing the vegetables in. If you're gonna use a roux mix you don't really use butter there's no need to. And you don't use bouillon you use seafood chicken beef or turkey stock. The whole gumbo is the roux and that's what takes the time aside from making the stock. This is total crap and I was born, raised and lived in New orleans all 65yrs
