NEW ORLEANS CREOLE GUMBO
RECIPE
PREP: 1 hr COOK: 2 hrs 40 mins TOTAL: 3 hrs 40 mins SERVINGS: 20
INGREDIENTS
• 1 cup all-purpose flour • Salt to taste
• ¾ cup bacon drippings • 4 bay leaves
• 1 cup coarsely chopped celery • ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1 large onion, coarsely chopped • 1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
• 1 large green bell pepper, coarsely chopped • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced • 4 teaspoons file powder, divided
• 1 pound andouille sausage, sliced • 2 tablespoons bacon drippings
• 3 quarts water • 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen cut okra, thawed
• 6 cubes beef bouillon • 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon white sugar • 1 pound lump crabmeat
• 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (such as • 3 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled
Tabasco®), or to taste and deveined
• ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning blend (such as • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Tony Chachere’s®), or to taste
STEP 1
Make a roux by whisking the flour and 3/4 cup bacon drippings together in a large, heavy saucepan over
medium-low heat to form a smooth mixture. Cook the roux, whisking constantly, until it turns a rich ma-
hogany brown color. This can take 20 to 30 minutes; watch heat carefully and whisk constantly or roux will
burn. Remove from heat; continue whisking until mixture stops cooking.
STEP 2
Place the celery, onion, green bell pepper, and garlic into the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse un-
til the vegetables are very finely chopped. Stir the vegetables into the roux, and mix in the sausage. Bring
the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove from heat, and set aside.
STEP 3
Bring the water and beef bouillon cubes to a boil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot. Stir until the bouillon
cubes dissolve, and whisk the roux mixture into the boiling water. Reduce heat to a simmer, and mix in the
sugar, salt, hot pepper sauce, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, thyme, stewed tomatoes, and tomato sauce.
Simmer the soup over low heat for 1 hour; mix in 2 teaspoons of file gumbo powder at the 45-minute
mark.
STEP 4
Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in a skillet, and cook the okra with vinegar over
medium heat for 15 minutes; remove okra with slotted spoon, and stir into the simmering gumbo. Mix in
crabmeat, shrimp, and Worcestershire sauce, and simmer until flavors have blended, 45 more minutes.
Just before serving, stir in 2 more teaspoons of file gumbo powder.
