The smell of roux is permeating Louisiana right now. What gumbo are you making tonight?

I’m making a seafood, deer sausage, fresh grunion sausage.

First, you make a roux


Took my time and make a nice dark one


Simmering at the moment. 1 1/2 more hours to go.

It’s a black iron pot, genius.

I’ll take your word for it. The finished product looks great. But that pic of the roux looks like California right now.

Sorry. No it’s not burnt, the before pic was the straight roux, the next pic was after adding the vegetables and stirring it in. Didn’t have enough time to burn. All of my rouxs look darker after adding veggies regardless of how dark the roux is. This being a darker roux than normal it looks almost black, because of the pot. Nice you add the liquid it lightens up.

Waiting until the bone chilling Armageddon happens on Tuesday. Got everything I need to put a little gumbo together on a cold day, while sipping a little whiskey in a, hopefully, warm house. :)
