The version of gumbo that I share is not 100% traditional, but that is the real beauty of gumbo. Gumbo is a dish with many variations and take on the dish. My version does not start off with a roux and contains red beans, however, unlike an authentic red bean gumbo, I do not puree them into the broth, nor am I using ham in the dish. Nonetheless it is one of my favorite meals. I hope you enjoy it too should you try it, or use this recipe to experiment and make your own special version of gumbo,
Gumbo
2 cups of white rice - cooked per package directions.
2-3 cups of chicken stock or 1 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon & enough water to cover the contents of the dish
2 andouille sausage links, or Louisiana style hot links - sliced in to rounds
1/2 - 3/4 cup of shredded chicken
6-8 shrimp- peeled and deveined
1 green pepper - diced
1 stock of celery - diced
1/2 an onion (or in my case I am using the whites of one leek) diced
2 cups of okra (this will be the thickening agent) (If not a huge fan of okra, then I suggest making a roux of butter and flour browned in the pan before cooking your vegetables.)
Spices to taste: Cayanne, Smoke Paprika, thyme, oregano, salt and black pepper, 1/2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce. For added flavor add a dash or two of tabasco sauce or your favorite Louisiana style hot sauce.
2 TBS butter
Start by either making a roux as explained earlier or melting the butter in a large pot. Add your chopped vegetables (but not the okra yet) and cook until tender and the onions and celery become translucent. Then add your stock or bouillon and water. Then add your meats and spices. And finally add the okra. Let simmer until everything is heated through and cooked fully. The okra should help to thicken up the dish slightly, but it won't be as thick as say a gravy is. and then serve over your rice and enjoy. And again, my apologies to any purest of gumbo out there.... I just don't eat a lot of flour. 😉

OMG I laughed way too hard at the parts with Kenai not wanting to the doctor...."no, no, no" I'm so glad he's doing better. He's beautiful! What a wonderful companion.

Poor baby Kenai not feeling so good. I'm so glad he's feeling so much better!! Wow I love your new ice box. It's so funny you and Kenai talking back and forth to each other in your vehicle. Love love love the bloopers!! Enjoy watching your videos so much!! Hugs and kisses to Kenai. Take care and God Bless you and Kenai always

Miss Alaska. Thanks for the videos. Don’t waste your time, putting the stone down on your parking area and driveway. Without having a contractor come in with A transit so he can check the grade of your property and the machine to grade and raise the elevation on the parking area and driveway first. If he uses the transit, he can divert the water to go in the direction it needs to go on to the lowest portion of your property. If you spend the money to put stone down on the area that you have now, the stone will just eventually sink into the mud. when I have time, I will send you an email with lots of information on making your cabin, more fire resistant to forest fires, and I also have quite a bit of knowledge on John Deere tractors, keep that doggie, smiling

Poor Kenai. Don’t you just hate when our babies are hurting? Tali jumped off the couch and started barking when she heard Kenai crying. Long haul for groceries no doubt Alone! The Gumbo looks Amazing! I need to figure out a way to ship to you some of our fresh made, in house, Pungo Boys BBQ Andouille Sausage. You truly are one Remarkable Pioneer Woman!

Kenai I'm so sorry you feel bad kidney infections can make anyone feel bad. I hope you are all well now I know when my little ones get sick I worry about them so much . They keep me sane that's for sure . Alone, I enjoy your channel so much I even go back and rewatch a bunch of the older ones looking forward to the coming months to see what you do this summer. I know grocery prices are just going out of sight I can't imagine how high it is there i went to the store today and it was unreal how much things have increased in the last month. I know with being on a fixed income it's going to get worse . The snow is so beautiful but I understand you are ready for spring I hope you don't get all the mud and flooding this year looking forward to the next video take care of yourself and Kenai and stay safe and healthy. 💖🌹💖😊
-
Glad to see Kenai is doing better. Hope you can drain lake Alone and not have the big mud mess again this year.
