Introduction

This is a really quick method of making this classic dish. I used rotisserie chicken, jarred roux, and already diced veggies from the produce dept. It costs more to make it this way, but you're saving on time and effort. This is a really quick method of making this classic dish.

Ingredients

    1 Rotisserie Chicken, cooked, meat only
    1 lb Smoked Boudin Sausage, sliced-up
    3 Qts Chicken Broth
    1 Jar (16 oz) Roux
    1 cup each of diced onions, peppers, and celery
    3-5 gloves garlic, diced
    Salt, Pepper, File, and Cayenne to taste

Tips

The Cajuns I know eat gumbo served over rice and with a big dollop of potato salad right on top. I skip the rice and potato salad and still enjoy it very much.


Directions

Pull all meat off the rotisserie chicken and put in stock pot along with 2 qts chicken stock over medium heat. In a frying pan, saute onions, peppers, celery and garlic until onions are clear, then add them to the stock pot. While the frying pan is still hot, add the remaining 1 qt of chicken stock and heat to almost boiling. Stir the roux in the jar so oil is not seperated, then add the roux to the chicken stock in frying pan and blend. Add the blended roux to the stock pot and simmer for one hour. Add the sausage and continue simmering for full flavor to develop. Add salt, pepper, cayenne and file to taste.

Serving Size: Makes 6 quarts of gumbo which is about 12 2-cup servings
