SOUTH LOUISIANA CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO (NO OKRA!)
Growing up in Louisiana, My momma called her version of this the poor mans gumbo. I have taken the liberty to make a few changes, such as using boneless-skinless chicken breasts instead of the whole chicken. Be careful with the Roux, if it burns you best start all over. It will get smoky in the kitchen, so be sure to open a few windows. This recipe takes some time but it is well worth it. If you have any left overs, this is something that is better the second day. Freezes well too.

REAL CAJUN GUMBO (FROM A LOUISIANAIAN)
All the gumbos you find that have tomatoes or okra are not cajun. That is creole. These are two completely different cultures. Cajun is a simple, cheap, tasty, country, low swamp land culture. Creole, is a higher class, city folk, type of culture that requires more expensive and extensive ingredients. Do not use more andouille than the recipe calls for, or I promise you will regret it! Please do not season with hot sauce on your plate, it is rude. For cheap, tasty andouille, order from the original makers of cajun andouille at www.cajunsausage.com.
