Precook some chicken for the gumbo
Using the bones and some scrap veggies, go ahead and make some stock
Heat up a cup of oil in your family's gumbo pot
Holy Trinity
Add 1 cup of flour and begin to make roux
Stir vigorously over medium high heat
Keep browning until you are satisfied. But don't let it burn
Add your chopped vegetables
This stops the cooking of the roux. Add red pepper, black pepper, salt, bay leaves, dried herbs and garlic
Stir in chicken and sausage
Add your homemade chicken stock
Bring to a boil and simmer until flavors marry and the rice is done
Serve with file, hot sauce, and plenty of rice
