Directions
- Make the Roux*: In a large, heavy-bottom combine flour and oil. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring constantly for 30-45 minutes. This part takes patience--when it's finished it should be as dark as chocolate and have a soft, "cookie dough" like consistency. Be careful not to let it burn! Feel free to add a little more flour or oil as needed to reach this consistency.
- Brown the sausage. In a separate skillet on medium-high heat place the sausage slices in one layer in the pan. Brown them well on one side (2-3 minutes) and then use a fork to flip each over onto the other side to brown. Remove to a plate.
- Cook the vegetables in stock reserving 1/2 cup of stock.
- Add ½ cup of the chicken stock to the hot skillet that had the sausage to deglaze the pan. Pour the broth and drippings into your stockpot.
- Add remaining 5 ½ cups of chicken stock with veggies, parsley, to the stockpot with roux and stir well. Stir until the roux is incorporated into the stock and it begins to thicken.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender. (Skim off any foam that may rise to the top of the pot.) Stir in cajun seasoning, to taste.
- Add meat. Add chicken, sausage, and shrimp.
- If it is not thickened enough mix 1 tbsp flour with warm water. Bring to a slight boil and ad the mixture a little bit at a time. You should not have to use it al.
- Taste and serve. At this point taste it and add more seasonings to your liking--salt, pepper, chicken bullion paste, garlic, more cajun seasoning or more chicken stock.
- Serve warm over rice.
BEST IF MADE THE DAY BEFORE! But if you can't wait it is fine the first day
Chicken Stock: It is best if you use chicken stock and not chicken broth. But if you have to use it, broth will work
