Gumbo filé - Yay or Nay?
Posted by lsuguy84 on 2/23/17 at 2:22 pm00
Do any of you use gumbo filé? I haven't used it before and don't know much about other than it is a thickener. Is it worth it?
Thanks in advance

IMO....no. Never was a fan. But I'm sure you'll find folks on both sides of the discussion. Comes down to your personal taste/preference.

File in my world is on the table as a condiment folks shake some on their gumbo if they wanna. Fresh ground it give a good flavor. YA gotta be careful though too much in ya gumbo can be bad for ya. It's Ground sassafras leaves so google it and make your own opinion.

Nope. It just never even enters my mind to use it. Gumbo's just fine without it.

Yay. But just a little goes a long way.

Seasoning at the table only. Not as thickener. Usually in chicken/sausage or duck/oyster

Yep as a condiment. If I eat two big bowls, I might put a little in one...then again I might not.

Chauvin-style gumbo, AKA "file' gumbo" is basically a no roux gumbo where file' is a vital ingredient. So, yes.

I sprinkle some on chicken and sausage as a seasoning.
My dad always says sprinkle the file'on your rice before you ladle in the gumbo, and it will blend easier with less stirring.
