Old faithful: Chicken and Sausage Gumbo (pics included and updated with recipe!)

Been waiting for the weather to cool down to make a gumbo and while it's still warm today, the saints don't play till 730 so had some extra time.

First I brown my andouille and chicken thighs in a cast iron skillet. I used the fat from the andouille to cook the thighs.





Once the meat is cooked I start the roux in the same skillet. I use half cup veg oil and whole cup flour.



10 mins later



Another 15 mins, close but need darker



20 mins later (total of 50 mins) and we're here



Chop my trinity



Add the veggies, let cook a few min. Then add garlic, bay leaves, cayenne, and the sausage





Add chicken stock and bring to boil, then simmer



Hour later, chop my thighs and add



Cook on low for another 2 hours, add green onions, parsley and file



Finally, plate and serve. Some good comfort food here



Thanks for the read and feedback (good or bad) is appreciated.
