Takes me about 45 min to an hour to make a roux


Crank that heat, cast iron or enameled cast iron, stir like a mofo. 20 minutes tops.

No, I get it. My method takes much longer than your browning the chicken. I brown the sausage to get out the fat for flavor.

I just think that boiling the marrow and fat out of the chicken makes for a much fuller flavor than a browning and deglazing.

Hence, the boiling of the bones which takes roughly 30 minutes longer than the browning of the chicken.

My roux is a 3 beer roux.

So however long that takes. Usually 45min to an hour

Festus sounds like you and I make gumbo the same exact way.

That's a good idea, and I've thought about it, especially now that I have a stand alone freezer. But honest answer is I'm too lazy to make a roux to freeze without the payoff of the gumbo to follow.

My dad used the pre made roux for a long time when I was a kid actually, before I knew there was a difference. To this day it's some of the best gumbo I've ever had...

I know... I know...

Why not make a huge pot of gumbo and freeze the leftovers?

I don’t disagree, but what I do is when I debone, I take the bones and make my stock for the next gumbo, along with any turkey carassses I have saved.

So I use the stock I have ready, and use the bones from this gumbo to make the stock for the next one.

We’re arriving in the same town, just taking different roads

I get that and my honest reply is, I’ve never done it.

Now another question....

Okra or no okra in your C&S gumbo?
