After years of cooking, finally made gumbo. Wonderful recipe - only change was using boned thighs, which made shredding the cooked meat a snap. Will feed our family of six two times over.

I messed up and added the green onions and file powder at the same time as the other seasonings - but it was still GREAT! We're not pork eaters, so I used smoked turkey sausage, and I added shrimp at the very end of cooking....this had great flavor. I made brown rice instead of white - I haven't eaten white rice in years...

Followed this recipe exactly my first time making Gumbo, and I'll do it again. It's fantastic - and even better the second or third day.

Just DON'T skip the hot sauce when serving. It really adds to the flavor and experience. I'd recommend at least a tablespoon per bowl when you serve it. I used Franks Red Hot.

For anyone looking for Gumbo File, check the spices section of your grocery store - usually around the cajun/creole seasonings. Spice Islands makes one - but it's expensive compared to the Tony Chachere's or Zatarains variety.

From Pennsylvania never heard of file. But other wise very good.

This gumbo turned out delicious!! I used canola oil first, not thinking about the smoke point and burned my roux, so I started over with veggie oil and got the chocolate roux going good. I had chicken breast handy, co I used those cut into chunks and kinda shredded up. I also threw in some precooked shrimp from the deli. I did not have file and don't even know where to hunt it down around here, I'll have to look into that. Great dish though, making the roux is a pain, but it added sooo much flavor. My hubs loved it! And the scallions on top really add to the dish. I used easy micro jasmine rice from Trader Joe's.

amazing gumbo. the roux took a long time because I didn't want to ruin it. this is the darkest roux I've ever made and it is worth the time and effort. wanted to just dive right into it,it was so beautiful. used chicken breast, added shrimp and okra. used the file'...what's gumbo without file'. could taste the richness of the roux in every bite. LOVED this.

This recipe is delicious. Everyone loved it! The kitchen smelled like Louisiana. The only problem I had was keeping everyone out of the pot before it was ready to serve! Great one!
