SEAFOOD GUMBO
Gumbo is one dish that makes Louisiana cuisine so famous. We live across the state line in Texas and can't seem to get enough of this traditional gumbo recipe that features okra, shrimp, spicy seasonings and what is called the holy trinity-onions, green peppers and celery. This recipe calls for seafood, but you could also use chicken, duck or sausage. -Ruth Aubey, San Antonio, Texas

SEAFOOD GUMBO FOR A CROWD
A great meal for a large crowd, tailgate or to make ahead and freeze. Kobe Roux seafood gumbo is a great way to spend a Saturday cooking with family and friends. It's a real crowd pleaser. This is as authentic as it comes and requires a lot of elbow grease and a pretty good spice cabinet, so check out the ingredients before you dive in.

Steps:
- Make A Roux: In an 8-quart cast iron dutch oven heat oil until very hot, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and gradually add flour until all of it is incorporated and looks like a thin gravy. Continue cooking over low heat , stirring constantly until the Roux is the color of caramel.
- Chop the onion, celery and bell pepper (holy trinity) and add one at a time, stirring until all vegetables are coated in the roux.
- Add cajun seasoning. You can make your own like the one we make, search for Kobe Roux Gris Gris Cajun Rub on this site.
- Add seafood stock (you can purchase Better Than Bouillon fish, lobster or clam base).
- Cut the smoked sausage into spoon-sized pieces and pan sear for color and to reduce the fat content. This will also add flavor to the roux.
- Saute the frozen okra in the same skillet as the you cooked the sausage inches Cooking it prior to adding it to the jumbo prevents the okra from becoming slimy and gross. The gumbo needs okra and file powder to aid in thickening.
- Continue simmering for 1 1/2 hrs, stirring occasionally.
- Add raw shrimp (16/20 peeled and deveined), and both types of crab. If you want to use other seafood, feel free to do so, it's really all about what you have on hand or what you like.
- Reduce heat and cook just until seafood is cooked.
- Add more seasoning to taste.
- Serve over bowl of white rice and garnish with chopped green onions.
- We really recommend that you make this dish a day-ahead and serve it reheated. It, like chili, is much better the next day. Freeze leftovers in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container.
- Boo-Yah.

GOOD NEW ORLEANS CREOLE GUMBO
I am going to give you my gumbo recipe. I learned to cook from my mother and grandmother who were born and raised in New Orleans and really knew how to cook. Most of the time, you could not get them to write down their recipes because they used a 'pinch' of this and 'just enough of that' and 'two fingers of water,' and so on. This recipe is a combination of both of their recipes which I have added to over the years. Serve over hot cooked rice. The gumbo can be frozen or refrigerated and many people like it better the next day. Bon appetit!

Steps:
- Make a roux by whisking the flour and 3/4 cup bacon drippings together in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat to form a smooth mixture. Cook the roux, whisking constantly, until it turns a rich mahogany brown color. This can take 20 to 30 minutes; watch heat carefully and whisk constantly or roux will burn. Remove from heat; continue whisking until mixture stops cooking.
- Place the celery, onion, green bell pepper, and garlic into the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse until the vegetables are very finely chopped. Stir the vegetables into the roux, and mix in the sausage. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
- Bring the water and beef bouillon cubes to a boil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot. Stir until the bouillon cubes dissolve, and whisk the roux mixture into the boiling water. Reduce heat to a simmer, and mix in the sugar, salt, hot pepper sauce, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, thyme, stewed tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Simmer the soup over low heat for 1 hour; mix in 2 teaspoons of file gumbo powder at the 45-minute mark.
- Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in a skillet, and cook the okra with vinegar over medium heat for 15 minutes; remove okra with slotted spoon, and stir into the simmering gumbo. Mix in crabmeat, shrimp, and Worcestershire sauce, and simmer until flavors have blended, 45 more minutes. Just before serving, stir in 2 more teaspoons of file gumbo powder.

Steps:
- 1. boil a 3lb chicken and de-bone and shred after its cooled. i usually boil and debone the chicken and chop all the veggies the day before so all i have to do is throw everything together the next day.save your chicken broth. also slice the smoked sausage the day before.
- 2. chop onions and celery and sweat them in butter til translucent. slice the smoked sausage and brown for about 5 minutes.
- 3. in a big stock pot (I use a 16 quart one) start making the roux using the oil and flour. cook on low heat stirring constantly to prevent burning till its a dark copper color. This takes about 20=30 minutes. DON"T RUSH IT!!! If it burns, throw it out and start over .
- 4. When you have finished making the roux, stir in the sweated onion and celery and the garlic.
- 5. Add 3 to 4 cups of chicken stock and stir till it blends in. Then add the fire roasted tomatoes and tomato sauce. Keep at a low simmer.
- 6. Drain the grease off the smoked sausage and stir in. Add the shrimp, okra and chicken.Add chicken stock as needed to bring it to the desired consistency. We like ours a little thick.
- 7. Add the Tony Chachere's. You can add more if not spicey enough.Add salt to taste to bring out the flavors. Let simmer till the shrimp and okra are done. About 5-10 minutes. Enjoy over rice. Makes about 8-10 quarts.
