Chicken And Andouille Smoked Sausage Gumbo Creole Stew Recipes

CHICKEN GUMBO WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Brown the sausages: Brown the sausages in the fat, remove and set aside.
• Heat the chicken stock: While you are stirring and cooking the roux, bring the chicken stock and water to a boil in a separate pot.
• Add the sausage, okra, and chicken meat: While the chicken is cooling, cut the andouille sausage into thick discs and drop them into the gumbo. Add the okra. Pick the chicken meat from the bones and chop it roughly. Add it back into the gumbo. At this point, you can cook the gumbo for another hour or up to several more hours, depending on how cooked down you want the final stew to be.

• Combine the oil and flour in a large cast iron or enameled cast iron Dutch oven over medium heat. Stirring slowly and constantly for 20 to 25 minutes, make a dark brown roux, the color of chocolate. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers and continue to stir for 4 to 5 minutes, or until wilted. Add the sausage, salt, cayenne, and bay leaves. Continue to stir for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth. Stir until the roux mixture and water are well combined. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and much of the fat is rendered. Remove the sausage to plate with a slotted spoon.

Return the chicken and sausage to the pot, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, 25 to 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in some additional chicken stock to thin the sauce a bit, if desired.
