    Sonny, I'm from Louisiana. That gumbo looked amazing and I bet tasted amazing. I know everyone in this great state cooks their gumbo differently just like they all cook Crawfish differently. Next time if you cook this again get the Roux to the color of Chocolate and make sure you add everything to the Roux before adding stock because it has the flavor holding capacity.( andoullie and browned chicken) you will taste a difference I promise. Again I love your channel and hopefully one day would get to meet or taste some of your culinary creations. I really need to video my cooking from this great State. It super inspiring for people to see such amazing food.❤❤❤

      @Mayor McCheese different parts of the state cook it differently due to what was available at the time of making it. Stalecracker is from middle of the state where my family is from the outskirts of New Orleans and even everyone around here makes it different. My dad makes a green Gumbo where it's some sort of smoke product with Many different greens in the pot then filled with stock.

    Tony "Sah-shuh-rey's"
    My uncle (from Eunice) taught me to make gumbo: fry the sausage and chicken (seasoned with Tony's) before adding to a pot of warm chicken stock. Then, use the drippings/fond and more oil with flour to make our rue (which is as dark as milk chocolate... of darker). Then add the veggies, and then toss it into the pot. Season with Tony's to taste. (Slap Yo Mama's is good, too).
    Eggs go in the potato salad. Not the gumbo. Maybe they do that in New Orleans but they also "blacken" food and as far as I know, we try to not burn our food.

    My favourite egg-peeling trick: Drop the eggs in the ice bath, just long enough so you can handle them, crack the shells all around, then *drop the eggs back in the water bath.* Just a few seconds is enough for the water to get in under the shell. Then peel the eggs in the water to wash off all the little shell fragments. So easy. So fast.

    I completely agree about adding stock to roux cold vs hot. It’s so funny when people debate this. I’ve never had an issue either way. I mean it’s probably more likely to become lumpy if it’s too thick or if you let it sit and it forms a skin on top and then you disgustingly mix the skin back into it or something… but if you just add enough stock and stir like crazy trust me it won’t be lumpy!!! Love this dude you killed it!

  • @kevinpaceplayspiano

    Great job pairing the gumbo with the potato salad (I actually put rice first in the bowl, then potato salad, then baptize it with the gumbo).
    Couple pointers though.
    1. Flour to oil ratio was off a little - too much oil/not enough flour. The consistency should be more paste like.
    2. You should just boil the chicken all day to get peak broth flavor.
    3. Add the roux to the boiling broth
    4. Go just a little darker on your roux. Like almost red brown.
    5. Paul Prudhomme is the gumbo master - he has some great advice on this.
    Love what you’re doing man! Keep it up.

    Safest way to make a dark roux that doesnt burn is to cook it in the oven. Heat the oven to 375, get the roux going and cook it in the oven until its the color you want. You can get melted chocolate roux without a hint of burning by doing it this way.

    Slap Ya Mama is made in my home town. Here are a few tips if you are trying to get an actual authentic Cajun gumbo.
    Roux: While you are correct that you don't use butter, traditionally it is made with lard (or bacon grease in a pinch). You also need to get it darker, the color of a heresy bar. The longer you take to cook your roux and the darker it gets (without burning), the richer and deeper the flavor it provides.
    Veg: You are missing green onions and parsley. That actual holy trinity has marsh parsley, to get a flavor similar to it from store bought ingredients you need both celery and parsley. The green peppers should actually be Louisiana Bells, but they are almost impossible to find if not growing them yourself. And the onions traditionally used were whole wild green onions, with both the tops and whites chopped up. All things that grew wild in central Louisiana.
    Stock & Chicken: You are making a stock when making gumbo. Don't make (or buy) a stock, cut up a whole chicken, sear it, and add it to the pot.
    Sausage: Always always always brown your sausage before adding it. Cajuns use smoked sausage rather than andouille in gumbo. However to us it is a different product (large casing, very course ground, smoked longer) and 99.99% of what is called andouille outside the Cajun area we would call smoked sausage.
    Time: Gumbo should simmer for at least 3 hours, if not 4 or more. This long slow cook is key to extracting and blending the flavor of all the ingredients together.
    Eggs: Traditionally the eggs are cooked in the gumbo. There are two schools of thought on this. Some will crack and drop the eggs in during the last 10~15 minutes of cooking, while some will add the whole egg (still in the shell) in for the last 15 minutes. Ether way, it imparts flavor from the gumbo into the egg.
    Thickener: Without this you have not made a gumbo. For a summer gumbo you use okra, while for a winter gumbo you use gumbo file.

    I grew up in Louisiana, and Gumbo is my favorite thing to cook. Your recipe looks good. I would skip baking the chicken. I use boneless/skinless thighs, cube them up, and season with creole seasoning. After I get my roux the color a little darker than milk chocolate, I add the seasoned chicken thighs to the roux. After the chicken cooks down for a few minutes, I then add the veggies. I also add pork Tasso which is a highly spiced cajun ham. I'm not mad at your recipe, though. A lot better than most of the channels on here that bastardize it with corn and lima beans.

    Grew up eating this all the time. Cajun comfort food. Our plating was a flat bed of rice in a soup bowl, big scoop of potato salad in the center, surrounded with gumbo and accompanied by mirlitons (pickled chayote squash). I'm now a grandfather of two and serve my kids and grandkids this dish on the regular.

    I'm no michelin star chef, but I usually cut from the bottom to the top of the bell pepper along the grooves, then just pull the sides off it, leaving the core intact and allowing me to remove the membranous white/seedy sections with my hands.

    I have a flat sauce whisk, so when I make the roux, I crank the heat up to high and whisk constantly. Deep brown in under 15 minutes, but it is a risky game I’m playing haha

      No one in New Orleans puts boiled eggs in gumbo. The potato salad and eggs are a Cajun thing - got to go out to New Iberia for that. Like so many, Sonny confusing Creole and Cajun.

    Side note: Tony Chachere's is saltier than most "Cajun" seasonings. I reserve it for when I am adding a large amount of unseasoned water in a pot (beans, etc.). Tony's can easily over salt a dish. Slap Ya Mama is what I use more often especially if I am using a stock which was already salted. By the way, Slap Ya Mama is only salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper so you can make your own blend if you want.

    I’m from NOLA. I have two gumbo recipes up my sleeve. Your chicken and sausage recipe is spot on. Seafood gumbo is where the file powder and okra come to the party in my neck of the woods. Nice job. On the potato salad, I like to sweat and cool my veggies before I fold them in. I don’t like all the crunch

    I love your videos and the Gumbo looks great. While Gumbo is correctly viewed as a Louisiana original dish, people get the state and the colony mixed up. Gumbo originated in what is today Mobile Alabama, which was the first capital of French Louisiana. Founded in 1702 by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville. He also founded New Orleans several years later and moved the capital there. So yes, Gumbo is a Louisiana dish, but the Louisiana colony not the state.

  • @McNasty43
    @McNasty43 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Just for clarification, gumbo is originally a Creole dish, though Creole and Cajun food do have a lot of crossover. The word "gumbo" even comes from the Bantu word for okra, "ki ngombo". Africans were brought to Louisiana a few decades earlier than the Acadians (Cajuns) were forced out of Nova Scotia. African culture had a huge influence on New Orleans, whereas the Cajuns settled in southwestern Louisiana, which is known as Acadiana. The food and cultures are distinct, but do have some crossover and commonalities.

    Growing up in Missouri in the 60's we were very poor. When sweetcorn from the garden was ripe and cooked and no oleo margarine or butter my mom made a very dark roux to smear on our corn. It's so good. Poor folk got poor folk ways.

    Hope I didn't inadvertently double post but I don't think my comment went through the first time. The potato salad is awesome and is now my go to recipe. The first time I made it I followed your written list of ingredients and it was superb...the best I've had. I made another batch tonight to go with some smoked ribs and I noticed that you added sweet pickle relish so I added that and it was even better. Recommend you add it to the written list of ingredients so people don't leave it out. I'm going to try the gumbo next weekend. My wife can't eat seafood so it'll be perfect for us.
    Awesome job!

    I like to brown the sausage in a separate pan heavily, and then wash out the fond like you did with stock and add that to the gumbo, I end up with a less greasy gumbo in the end. Recipe looks good.

  • @MartyRabbit
    @MartyRabbit 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Sonny it benefits from frying the dredged in flour chicken pieces in the cooking pot then browning the sausage and tasso. Remove all the meat then make the roux in the oil and fond left behind. Make the roux chocolatey dark then add half the trinity and sweat down a few minutes them begin adding the chicken and vegegetable stock. This will give many layers of flavor. Good effort though.
    The thing is the roux should have a dark earthy flavor, the chicken should only be simmered for 30 minutes so it still has bite. One portion of trinity goes in to cool the roux and an equal portion goes in after the stock is added so you have two levels of trinity flavor. The only time the chicken would be simmered for two or three hours is if you had the good fortune to find a tough old hen past her laying days...full of flavor but like shoe leather.

    Living in Louisiana my entire life... this is an impressive gumbo 100% Cajun in my book, i have seen alot of people mess up a gumbo by adding different things instead of roasting your own chicken, you can go buy you a few Rotisserie chickens and do the same thing!

    Gumbo is such a great dish but way too many people have their way of making it so it varies a lot. Gumbo actually means okra so seeing people's versions without okra is different. Also the soupy consistency is preferred by some but the thick gumbo is where it's at!

    • @thesavvybassist

    • @nunya44288
      @nunya44288 ปีที่แล้ว

      Get that thick shit out of here. Don't talk about stuff you don't know about. Okra, while traditionally correct and historically significant, is usually not in people's gumbo down here. Also, we're criticizing you hard if you put a thick mess in our bowl.
