I have some jarred roux I bought to take to a friend in Las Vegas but forgot I was flying and did not want to donate to TSA so I kept it. Ready to make some chicken/andouille gumob with the roux but have never used jarred before (always do the nonfat in the oven). Should I heat up my stock and then add the roux spoonful at a time to the stock? Ok to saute the veggies in a little roux or do them separately in a little oil? Advice appreciated.

I use a whole jar of Kary's roux in an 18" oval roaster. Filled the pot with water, bring to a boil, then whisk in your roux. My diced trinity (and 2 jalepenos diced) just went in about 30 minutes after the roux came back to a boil. I've sauteed them before and added, and I cannot tell you the difference.

We did this when we traveled to North Carolina for Thanksgiving. Brought 3 lbs of Rabideaux pork and venison sausage, along with regular pork, andouille and roughly 16-18 chicken thighs. After browning the sausage, I added it to the pot and just dropped the raw chicken in and let that cook for about an hour. Probably the tastiest gumbo I cooked. Everyone loved it.

I add 1jar roux after the veggies have cooked down. Use roux spoon to stir and break it down, then add stock bit by bit to incorporate

Either method works. My preference is to add the roux while sauteing the vegetables similar to if I made the roux from scratch.
