I did a quick one tonight, came out pretty damn good (the kids ate it, and that’s all that counts)

Butter
Trinity + carrot + garlic (cook for about 20 mins)
Flour (make chocolate roux)
Smoked sausage (brown)
Raw cubed chicken thighs (brown)
Chicken broth
Salt/pepper/file/bay leaf/Cajun seasoning
Boil until chicken is done


Serve over rice

Very simple and came out pretty awesome.

No tomatoes!!!

I don't make quick gumbos, but if I had to I would use jarred roux.

Carrot!?!?!?

Oh, and I think we have a food board don’t we? Not being a dick, but you might spur more conversation over there

I generally do not, but in a pinch I will use rotisserie chicken & store bought chicken stock to speed things up a bit…

Pack of Autins or Lousiana Gumbo mix.
Rotisserie Chicken
Pack of Smoked Sausage

I might make that 2 times a year but it's decent in a pinch.

I guess “quick” was not accurate. It did take me an hour to make it


uh, what?

20-30 mins on a roux is pretty standard. so an hour to make a gumbo is not quick at all.

all you did was make gumbo the normal way.
