Being married to a Louisiana man has many perks. His bone fide gumbo is one of them. Oliver used the carcass from last week's roast chicken, and several chicken backs from the freezer, to create a foundation stock for the soup. He then made a roux and added the food "trinity" (onions, bell peppers and celery). Once everything had cooked down it was combined with the stock, a freshly browned chicken and some andouille. The gumbo was left to simmer for a couple of hours in our cast iron pot.
Like I have said MANY times before: When will the attic be ready for my move-in? ALL I need is the attic, a dumb waiter (HEY! you can send up the kids too), and....guess that's all I need. Assuming the attic has a working bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI did a black bean chili with butternut squash over the weekend.....yummy. Mary will have it good in your attic :)
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious and healthy too! It's gotten me in the mood for a creamy jalapeno and butternut squash soup!
