Directions followed exactly and it is terrific! Use good quality sausage. Overall we all love it, even our 2 year old.

I am planning a "Mardi Gras Theme Wedding Shower" so am trying recipes out to see if I can make them or order them on-line (Cajun Caterers are impossible to find in Maryland.

I tried two recipes this week-end, this Gumbo and Etoufee. I have had Gumbo many times in Lousiana. This recipe was by-far the best I have ever had. It got rave reviews from my taste testers.

I put half andoullie and chorizo sausage. I think the chorizo really put this recipe over the top!

The only change I would make is to reduce the stock from 3 quarts to 2 quarts and add some okra. Three quarts made it too liquidy. By reducing to 2 quarts and adding okra, it thicked up nicely. I've made this using it as a base for different types of meat and fish. My favorite variation has andouille, shrimp, and chicken.

This recipe is very tasty and was the hit of our New Year's Day celebration. Try it, just be sure to be very familiar with the steps in the recipe. One suggestion: have all of your chopped ingredients ready to go before you start your roux so that you can just put it together as the roux hits that chocolate color. My second batch on New Year's Day was better than the first batch I made before that.

Not a very good reciept. I was very disappointed in the flavor or should I say the lack of. The only thing you could taste and smell was the onions.

What a treat it was on a cold "Florida" winter night. The entire family loved this dish. It warmed us to the bone. And the leftovers were even better.

This turned out really tasty and not too highly spiced - between a mild and a medium. It was excellent over basmati rice.

Notes: I used a mild andouille sausage. I made the roux in a cast iron skillet and it took about 40 minutes, but it's the first time I've made one.

Changes:

-I used canned broth, and used 3 simmered chicken breasts for the meat.

-Substituted salad shrimp for ham

-Add a can of diced tomatoes, a pound of frozen okra, and a can of tomato paste, to up veggie content.

Will make again. Time consuming, but feeds single person for many days :

this gumbo was good and authentic. i used chicken andouille instead of regular, which worked really well. be really careful with the roux, however - when following the recommended time it just tasted and smelled burnt to me.
