… was not disappointed.



Didn’t have enough fat after browning my sausage and chicken, so I threw in some butter. It did not burn, smell funny or seem off in any way. This is the definitive go ahead to use butter for your roux.

Did you clarify it or was it straight from the stick?

Straight from the stick. No skimming was necessary either.

I downvoted you simply because I'm still butt hurt over Saturday, no other reason.

I'm not that mad at your butter roux. But I would address your lack of browning of your sausage, your undercooked vegetables, your hugely chunked unbrowned chicken pieces, and general shitty looking gumbo.

Looks good to me baw. But I've always been a sucker for raw chicken skin and Hillshire Farm Kielbasa gumbo.

That was the before picture, right after I added my broth and the meat back in.

This is the final, luxurious result.

Every last one of y’all would eat this gumbo with your hands if you didn’t have no spoon

Crunchy celery and disintegrated shredded chicken. Looks awesome.

I only use a butter roux in etouffee. Gumbo gets a traditional 1-1 oil dark roux. Chicken stew gets a high heat, smoke point fast-browning roux.

This thread is a tounge in cheek response to a poster who said last week you should never use butter in your gumbo roux. its actually the first time I’ve used butter in a dark roux, and I like the flavor a lot better than the usual canola oil I use and I didn’t have to skim any excess oil, so I’m gonna stick with it.

How much ice did you use to slow down the simmering?
