Supposed to rain tonight so making gumbo, ill take a big meal or to to Colorado for my deer hunt too.




I do an oven roux then bring it to color on the stove top. Okra goes in last.

Interesting. I bet it turns out great. Love that little extra added slime the okra will provide.

I sauté my vegetables in butter then sift in a bit of flour and it browns right on the trinity then add my stock

most of mine is chicken and pheasant

I know it isn't authentic but it works well for me everything is made in one Dutch oven while I get the pressure cooker going with a pheasant and about 4 chicken thighs
that gives a good amount of meat and stock and gets it cooked fast

as soon as the pressure cooker has had 19 minutes under pressure and I let it vent the stock is ready and the meat can cool so I can pick it

I start the pressure cooker then start cutting veg , and sauté it in the butter.

You can see how the flour toasts in the oven inbthe top pic, this is the color as soon as it hits the oil ( mix of duck fat and bacon grease) second pic.
Almost done last pic i went a couple shades darker but didn't want to stop stirring to get a pic.

Looking good NV

… I love a good gumbo myself …I like to put a few smoked turkey legs in

I typed smoking turkey leg but couldn't keep them lit.
Guess I need a new smoker
