Recipe: Gumbo

-
Mawme's Gumbo

 Oil roux:
To make the roux, mix flour and oil WITHOUT FIRE. You will want more flour than oil to create a thickness.
Brown the roux until it is a chocolate color.
Brown seasoning blend in the roux.
Boil chicken, and save the water to make the gumbo.
Brown sausage in seasoning blend and roux.
Add chicken and water until desired consistency (that of a gumbo, not a stew--watery).
You want more water than is needed to cover your meat.
Season, and add file. Cook on a medium fire for an hour, stirring occaisonally.
Every twenty minutes during the hour, add 1/2 teaspoon of file.
After an hour (third twenty minute interval), add a 1/2 teaspoon of file, and stir so that it does not stay in a lump.
Make rice.
Done

 Dry roux:
Bake flour in over until brown in order to create dry roux.
Boil chicken, and save the water to make the gumbo.
Brown sausage in seasoning blend
Add chicken, water, and dry roux until desired consistency (that of a gumbo, not a stew--watery).
You want more water than is needed to cover your meat.
Season, and add file. Cook on a medium fire for an hour, stirring occaisonally.
Every twenty minutes during the hour, add 1/2 teaspoon of file.
After an hour (third twenty minute interval), add a 1/2 teaspoon of file, and stir so that it does not stay in a lump.

YOU’RE posting this? After all the times—“ Blah, blah, blah, yes, I am.) PLEASE, excuse any writing errors. When I write like this, which gives me PURE JOY, which is why I do my best to do it without caring what anybody else thinks (REALLY hard for me to do, by the way—totally faking it till I make it when I post my writing), I just want to get all of my thoughts out as quickly as possibly and as accurately as possible (It’s just not the same sometimes when you can—yes, technically—get the same idea out but not with the same words you originally imagined using to get them out.) and with as much enjoyment as possible.
