Saw this come up on my Facebook feed from The Switch BBQ joint in Dripping Springs, TX. Seems like this could be a decent way to use up some leftover brisket. Anybody ever tried something similar?

Brisket & Sausage Gumbo

Honestly I'll eat almost anything in a roux. Sounds pretty good to me.

Seems like the smokey flavors from the brisket would make for a good gumbo. Just wondering how the texture of a well smoked brisket would hold up.

I made a huge pot of gumbo using smoked nutria and andouille sausage and it turned out excellent.

To be honest, out of all the many pots of gumbo I've made in my lifetime, I've never used beef. May have to give this a try for something different.

Sweet Jesus..brisket gumbo!!! Take that brisket and add it to a homemade corn chowder or use it to make okra gumbo (no roux please)..
The smoke flavor in any of those two will make you swear to always smoke/bbq a little extra for one of those dishes.

Come on max, expand your horizons a bit. I'd bet dollars to donuts if nobody told you they fixed a pot of stew or gumbo with nutria, you'd eat it, enjoy it, and want more.

More a mind over matter thing really.

neva thought of gumbo for some reason, but its great in soup and pinto beans we often make left over soup with veggies and meats found in the fridge and Brisket and left over pork is great in soups or chopped up and put in beans.

I don't know. Brisket is pretty fatty / oily. It seems like it may be a bit much in combo, which is already pretty rich.

I would try it though.

that looks great!

my grandparents would use left over bbq'd pork steaks and chicken to make "bbq gumbo". They would wipe off the bbq sauce due to it being oily/grease but the meat would keep the smoked flavor. One of my favorite gumbo's.

Yes,

Smoked a brisket and put a drip pan underneath to catch the drippings. strained it to keep the liquid then used the rendered fat along with a little more oil in the roux.

I found I didn't need to season the gumbo too much.

9/10 would do again.

It does look very dark and thick, with a heavy layer of oil on the top.. and brisket is so fatty. IWNEI
