My thoughts:
I stimulate got to say, I brand pretty adept Cajun food. When my hubby brought abode a bunch of seafood amongst an middle on making gumbo, he suggested I brand the roux together with stimulate got a to a greater extent than supervisory business office for the rest. Fine amongst me! I brand my roux over a lower oestrus than I've seen called for inward cookbooks which makes the procedure much less fraught but yields the same results inward but slightly to a greater extent than time. I also similar to add together the spices to the flour which makes them squeamish together with toasty tasting. Beyond that I don't piece of occupation likewise fancy; cubanelle peppers instead of bell (bell peppers are thence insipid) together with a jalapeno thrown inward for extra spice. Since it is a calendar month amongst an "r" inward it, local oysters were a natural agree equally was my favorite catfish. Rounding it out is shrimp but I bet crawfish or fifty-fifty (for an extra luxe touch) chunks of lobster would hold out great. This is my favorite sort of gumbo, homey together with comforting but the seafood makes it appear special. It is also surprisingly quick to brand which makes it a cracking alternative for a weekday meal.
