If you’ve never tried it, don’t bash it. It’s a great combo.

Depends on the potato salad, but yeah. No rice, spoon of potato salad on top the gumbo. If your gumbo isn’t thick enough to support a potato salad, you’ve got a soup

Yeah I like having the chicken bits and sausage oil in the roux.

Might I make a suggestion fr33? Browning chicken is not needed for gumbo. Lightly boil the chicken in a pot of salted water. Take it out, and debone, setting the chicken aside in a bowl. Return the bones to the boiling water and let them boil for about 30 minutes to boil out all the chicken fat in the skin and bone marrow. Remove the fat and bones, and use that as your chicken stock.

Then make your roux and gumbo as normal, and pour the stock in when you would your water. Makes for a much fuller gumbo flavor, at least I think so.

I never put water in the gumbo, always chicken stock.

Good tip.

I brown chicken and sausage, deglaze, make roux. It's not the same without the browned meat IMO

You use a ice cream scoop for your rice, how cute.

You don’t need to brown chicken for a Gumbo

Boil it, debone, pick the fat out and use the water you boil it in as your stock

Impressive how the flour is stuck to the front of the stove.

I used to put canned chicken stock, or the bullion cubes. I boiled the chicken bones once instead and it made this nice, thick stock with a bit of a sheen on it. Changed the whole flavor of the gumbo. When in a hurry, I don't do it and the flavor isn't nearly as deep without the stock I make.
