Recipe Instructions


Step 1: Prep

Prep your cutting station with a damp cloth and cutting board.

Chop bell peppers, green onions, celery, carrots

Dice onion. Mince garlic.

Using a clean or new cutting board and knife, slice sausage.

Step 2: Roux & Rice

Start your roux by adding butter to a large pot over medium heat to melt. Whisk in flour and continually whisk for about 10 minutes.

Add 2 cups of rice and 4 cups of broth or water to a small pot with lid. Bring to a boil. Reduce to low and simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 3: Sauté

Add in chopped peppers, onions, celery, carrots, and minced garlic. Stir with a spatula and cook a few minutes until tender.

Add in diced tomatoes and 4-6 cups of broth depending on how thick you want your gumbo. Stir to combine.

Step 4: Season & Sausage

Add all seasonings, Worcestershire, hot sauce, and sausage to the pot. Add lid, put stove on high and bring to a boil. Stir periodically.

Reduce to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes or up to an hour. The longer you simmer, the more flavor! Make sure the lid is on.

Step 5: Seafood

Once you are done simmering, add in seafood, stir to combine, put lid on, and turn heat off.

Let the seafood cook in the hot gumbo for a few minutes until cooked through.
