Blackeyed Pea Gumbo Food

BLACK-EYED PEA AND PORK GUMBO

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the peanut or vegetable oil over medium-high. Slowly whisk in the flour and continue whisking until the roux turns dark red and begins to turn brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic to the roux and cook, stirring, until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Add the stock, dried spices and bay leaves, and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer over medium-low, skimming occasionally, until flavors meld, at least 45 minutes.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the lard or olive oil over medium-high. Add the okra and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Taste the gumbo: It should not be pasty or taste overwhelmingly of the roux. If it does, you may need to add more stock, up to 4 cups. (The strength of starch in the flour can vary.) If you add more stock, start with just a cup, simmer and stir for a few minutes, and taste the gumbo again. Repeat as needed.
• Stir the okra, black-eyed peas, greens and pork into the gumbo. Return to a simmer, season with salt and pepper and adjust the spices, if necessary. Serve over steamed rice or potato salad.

• In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and brown until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove the sausage to paper towels and allow to drain. Brown the chicken in batches, removing to a paper towel to drain.
• Add the rest of the oil to the pot over medium-high heat . When the oil is smoking add the flour and stir constantly until mixture is dark brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onions, bell pepper, and celery and cook until the onions are translucent. Stir often for about 10 minutes. Add garlic, salt, cayenne pepper, bay leaves, oregano, sausage, chicken, and black-eyed peas then stir for 2 more minutes.
• Stirring, slowly add the chicken stock until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for one hour. Skim off any fat that rises to the surface.
