More color?

Guys. It just takes a while. At least if you are like me and only do this once in a while. Your best friend is a silicone spatula. Trust me on that. I am thinking 30 more minutes and in goes the trinity. Usually the roux darkens dramatically when you add the roux. Honestly I could add it now and would be fine.

 

[chingador]

I am thinking about 10 more minutes. Sorry but not wrapping this up tonight.

A little bit

 

[chingador]

Ok. This is as,far as I am going. Add the trinity and the color darkens. Add about 8 cloves of minced garlic and mix in. Then add the sausage and mix in.

Sorry guys that is it for tonight. Will cool and refrigerate for the night and reheat tomorrow and finalize.

... Sorry guys that is it for tonight.

You need to quit apologizing. Looks delicious.

We'll struggle though and enjoy your second day of gumbo shenanigans on the flip-side.

Thanks Shadow. My belief when it comes to sauces, stews or gravy’s is that they are always better the second day. That is what I am going for. The flavor is truly awesome. Calling it a night. Re-watching season 1 of Helier on Amazon Prime before jumping into S2

You had me at gumbo, but with the care and time you are putting into that, I can only imagine how good it's going to be! I don't know if I can handle the final product without actually tasting it, but through teary eyes, I will tune back in and persevere. Great looking (and amazing) cook, so far.

Thanks everyone. I am back to it. Gumbo is back on the stove. Color is as I normally make it which is not quite dark enough. But flavor is incredible. Needs to simmer for a couple hours though.

Now on to the chili. Seasoning blend is mixed. Now I run a couple onions, garlic and celery in the food processor to chop fine. About the same as grains of rice. Then do the same with my pepper mix, red, yellow bell peppers, jalapeños and poblanos. Sautéed until all liquid is gone.

More to come

 

[chingador]

Aaaaand. Gumbo served

 

[ShadowDriver]

Boom! That was worth the wait.

I could really crush a bowl of that right about now.

Enjoy!

 

[Shadowdog500]

That looks excellent!

Have to remember this for next year.

 

[Big George's BBQ]
