If anyone wants to make Gumbo, here is my dad's recipe.
Gumbo
Roux: 3/4 cup oil, 3/4 cup flour--cook together over medium heat until the color of chocolate. Stir all the time or it will burn.
Veggies: 1 onion diced; 1 green and 1 red pepper diced; 1 bunch celery diced, garlic to taste; 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning. When roux is done, add diced veggies and seasoning.
Meats: 1 pound smoked sausage cubed; 1 pound chicken cubed; 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning. Add meats after veggies are done. When meats are done add 1 can Rotel tomatoes, 3 cans chicken broth, 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, and 1 bay leaf. Cook until boiling. Reduce heat and cover for 30 minutes on low heat. Uncover and add 1 pound cut okra, 1 pound shrimp, and 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning. Bring back to boil and cook until okra is done. Remove bay leaf and sprinkle in parsley flakes.
Serve over rice.
