1-3

– Place a Dutch oven over medium heat. – Add the oil and flour and mixing using a whisk. – Cook the roux until the roux reaches at least a peanut butter. If any black flecks are formed during this stage, throw the roux out and start over. The roux has burned.

4-6

– Add the onions, celery, and green bell peppers. – Sauté the vegetables until they are translucent. – Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds.

7-8

– Slowly add the chicken broth while whisking. – Add the bouillon cubes, black pepper, cayenne, bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, and smoked paprika.

9-11

– Cut the andouille sausage into ¼ inch thick disks. – Brown the sausage in a separate pan. – Add the sausage to the gumbo.

12-13

– Simmer the gumbo over low heat. The longer the better. –  Quickly cook the okra in 1 tablespoons of oil over high heat, just until it is no longer “stringy”, add the chicken and okra to the gumbo and continue simmering.

– Taste for salt and pepper. – Serve your gumbo with white rice.
