It isn't every day that we actually get BOTH of our boys over for dinner (typically it's the heavily orchestrated holiday dinner.... Or a drive by). With that in mind and noting the season, we are having gumbo, jambalaya, sautéed spinach and corn bread. Guess my southern (Croatian) roots are showing .....
1/2 c flour
1/2 c olive oil
1/2 c chopped celery
3/4 c chopped yellow peppers
1 T garlic minced (I added double)
2 T hot sauce
1/4 t of both thyme, cayenne pepper and oregano
1/3 t salt
1/4 t white pepper
3/4 chopped tomatoes
6 c of chicken stock
1/2 lb chopped chicken
1/2 lb shrimp
1 T file
Add oil and chopped veggies (no tomatoes) and lightly sautée. Add flour and spices then continue stirring until deep golden brown. Do not burn!
Add broth, tomatoes and meats. Summer for 15 minutes. Add a little warm broth to a cup and stir in the file to make a paste. Add paste to gumbo. Simmer for another 30 minutes and pour over cooked rice (mine looks like a rich stew!)
Yummy!
Next up Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya
