I always brown the sausage some for my gumbo so I'll use that as at least part of the fat.

usually use peanut oil for chicken and andouille/sausage

Same here. This is the only way to go for a chicken sausage gumbo to me.


Add me to this. Always peanut...corn in a pinch. Never butter in a gumbo. Beurre manié for thickening sauces and some soups ~~ but not in a gumbo.
