I found this recipe online and noticed it includes some unusual ingredients for gumbo (chili powder, dry mustard, jalapeno, poblano, oregano, thyme...) I was curious to hear the board's thoughts. It looks good?

I bought some quality smoked sausage at Paul's Meat Market in Ville Platte yesterday and I'm tempted to use it for this recipe, but some of those ingredients just seem off

That roux looks thick. Like spaghetti sauce thick. Is that how it’s supposed to be? In my thread, it’s a little bit more soupy.

How thick do you think jarred roux is ?
That cooked down roux is similar to mine. If yours is “soupy”, it’s because you may be using too much oil. Or you could be cooking too fast over to high heat.
Roux almost always has a 1:1 ratio of fat to flour. I cook on medium or med/high heat. That recipe posted in the link uses 2 cups flour to 1 1/2 cups oil which is also why it’s thicker. Once you add the chopped fresh vegetables it will drop the cooking temperature and loosen the roux due to water content within the vegetables. A roux can be made multiple ways just DON’T burn it as there’s no way to salvage it

Donald Link's recipe calls for a few of those - chili powder, jalapeno, and poblano. I loosely follow his recipe; I like the additions of the jalapeno and poblano, but I make less roux, don't "fry" the chicken, and drop the okra.

I always put a jalepeno (not the seeds) in my gumbo. You don’t exactly taste it, it’s just another layer. I bet nobody would even know it had a jalepeno in a big pot of gumbo.

Fulla shite there. There is no reason a single jalepeno is gonna totally change a gumbo. However, chili and tomatoes? Yep. You’re full o shite.

Looked like a Johnsonville Brat

Sure a far cry from Bourque's andouille I use.

That's not that uncommon for gumbo but I'm with you on the rest of the list
